Problems with tdm-trinity
by Rolf Schmidt 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hi, I will setup a Lenovo T410i laptop which has a nvidia grafic card. The laptop should use additioaly second monitor when in the docking station and of course expand the gui across both screens. The (original) driver can't handle this - allways assumes both motiors are connected. So I installed the nouvea driver and get trouble with tdm. Tdm starts and I see the clock for a short time and then tdm terminates and a text only terminal login is shown. When login and call "startx", I get a working trinity session and the crash report manager is shown. So my question is "where can I look for error messages of tdm" or has some one else an idea or a solution for the problem? Many thanks in advance Rolf

Bleah: systemctl enable tdm.service -f / Failed to execute operation: Access denied
by Peter Laws 03 Feb '17

Fresh CentOS 7, patched, added repos for EPEL, NUX, whatever else was listed. Accidentally installed "trinity-tdebase" first. Pulled all those packaged and then installed "trinity-desktop-all". "systemctl disable gdm.service" worked and kdm/xdm failed (likely because I don't have those installed) but this fails: systemctl enable tdm.service Failed to execute operation: Access denied Adding -f to the end doesn't seem to make a difference. Moderate googling is not helping! I've rebooted several times with no apparent effect. Since it behaves identically when I try tdm.service as it does when I try xdm or kdm, is it possible that I'm missing a step somewhere? This system was Ubuntu+TDE and while I've been fiddling with RHEL/CentOS for ages, CentOS and it's systemctl are still new to me. Never was a Fedora person. -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

Locked user session
by Baron 03 Feb '17

Hi Guys, PCLOS Trinity 14.0X For the past few days I have been getting a "Session locked by user" message with only user can unlock this session. I can enter my password and get in with everything working OK. If I reboot, hard reset, I don't get this message again when I login. I may not see this again for two or three days, and then its back. I don't normally leave the computer switched on so I might restart the computer twice a day. Anybody any clue as to why this has started to occur. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Best Regards: Baron

TDEInit problem in Wheezy and TDE 14.0.4
by Ken Heard 02 Feb '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Now that Firefox is directly available from a Wheezy repository I recently decided to replace Iceweasel with Firefox-esr. Once I had the latter up and running I deleted the former. When I next tried to open an html file from Dolphin I received the TDEInit failure message: "TDEInit could not launch 'Iceweasel'. Could not find 'Iceweasel' executable." I did an online search for information about TDEInit and found that others had problems with it, and the problems had to do with something called 'binutils' I think. My knowledge of information technology is unfortunately insufficient to allow me to understand the information I found. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to replace 'Iceweasel' with Firefox-esr so I can open html files in 'Firefox-esr" from Dolphin.
