Thanks Michele
I've been sick since you last wrote me.
The info you gave was what I needed.
Right before I got sick I used the info to form a theory <grin>,,, I have
"massively" customized my Trinity menu. I think that was what caused the
errors.
In a few days I will continue working on the problem and get back to you
with the results. If I can I want to fix the problem instead of just
turning off the error messages.
Thanks for your help
Keith

Re: previous email
Such is life in the fast lane... <grin>
I think all of the output of the script (error messages) is sent to
this file:
/var/tmp/tdecache-$USER/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt
There are three dialog boxes that sequentially popup with three
different
messages. Because they are hard wired
to prohibit copy operations (given where they
appear in the boot
sequence copy might not work anyway) I would have
to write them out from reading the screen. I can
do that if you need
it. Basically they say; the update did not
work, contact the nearest administrator, and
where to find the above
mentioned error file.
The errors were all in updating *.desktop files--since I don't use those
desktop files I don't care. What I do
care about is having to click on three different
itty bitty buttons that
appear in three different locations on the
screen, one after another, with my shaky 71 year
old hands... If it
keeps up much longer I am going to turn into a
grumpy old man... <grin>
If I just knew where the script was, I could fix the popup dialog
problem. It is
possible that just creating
empty *.desktop files could solve the update
problem, but the script
does not tell where it expects to find the
files--so I don't know where to put them. My
first post has lots of
details about the *.desktop files that
failed.
I attached the daily error message file, mentioned above.
Thanks

Hi Keith,
the file r14-xdg-update is in /opt/trinity/bin. At lines 1067-1078 (at
least on the R14.1.x version) there is a
section about "test9", which creates the mentioned
'r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt' file if something went wrong
when updating the tdemenu part.I guess this is a consequence of the 3
dialogs that appears during your login process.
Check the lines 849-883: probably the errors originated there (it's
difficult to say from here without further
details). Even more likely it could be section 901-927.
If you need more support let us know and possibly posts more details as
well.
Cheers
Michele
