I've installed TDE on a new system running debian stable.
X is starting correctly with screen size 1920x1200, but every time when I log
in, I'm presented with a TDE desktop of size 1024x768 and have to resize it.
So I'm wondering:
1. Where is the value 1024x768 coming from?
2. How do I change it so that the TDE desktop starts at 1920x1200, so that I
don't need to modify it manually each time?

A fellow user suffered extreme visual impairment, which severely limits his
ability to use his PC. At irregular intervals, I straighten out his problems, and
do his release upgrades.
Somehow in his desire to reduce clutter on Kicker by deleting unused objects he
has managed to eliminate a large number of items from his main menu. Office is
totally absent, even though the entirety of LibreOffice is installed. Likewise,
Internet, Utilities and System are also missing. Is there some simple XDG or other
way to regenerate the menu that doesn't eliminate menu customization or impact Kicker?

Hello !
Under debian buster, i updated and upgraded last week, meanothers TDE.
As from then, everything related with Xwindows has become extremely slow.
Before that, as from tdm to everything within the TDE display/desktop
screen/environment worked perfectly.
video is AT RV370 X300 / X300SE

Anyone else have a perfectly working 16.04, upgrade to 18.04, then X segfaults?
Neither TDE nor IceWM run because X doesn't get far enough along. Google hasn't
found me anything on point as yet. :-(

Greetings all;
I updated tde about 2 hours ago, 300+ files.
Its totally fscked, defaulting to xfce4 and nothing but a tiny terminal
works. But that terminal is enough to get more started.
Can't find kmail from the xfce4 menu but kmail is what it reports
it cannot find so $path is screwed.
I've gone single and tried to relink default-display back
to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, failed. Tried to reset it in /etc/default,
failed. Tried just about everthiing including re-installing the
trinty-base & twm/tdm stuffs. no luck
I finally found /opt/trinity/bin/kmail and have it running but no clue if
I can send this.
How in tuncket do I restore my default desktop to tde now??? I
asccidently touched the folder icon, it opened a huge requester asnd
froze everthing but gkrellm which I had found and started so I could see
if the robots were DDOSing me, so I had to re-start it with the front
panel reset button.
I likely have the whole thing to fix as right now its cycleing back and
forth as its starting x with a tde login but clears that screen and
eventually starts xfce4. And here come the damned bots, so I gotta get
iptables running.
Thanks for any help. debian stretch on amd64 if that helps.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi people,
Running into dcopserve and tdelaunch failures.
I did all the usual things. deleted dop etc etc files, check perms and the
like. Even created a new user.Different machines etc.
Root runs with very little problem but still has those errors on occasion.
General question...
Anyone else encounter this?
Kate

Kate,
There is an old bug resulting from an iceAuth issue that will prevent dcop
from starting. I cannot recall the exact issue, but it was either an xorg or
iceauth version change issue. Another possible problem is a change or
misconfigured hostname. Have you changed that lately? I did a quick search and
can't find a decent link to the iceauth issue I'm thinking about.
Maybe your google foo is better than mine there, but I recall it being a
2016 issue? (or maybe a year or two on either side). The search results I get
show 2008-2009 range that isn't the problem I'm thinking of.
greets!
I was trying to get a second monitor (a tv) to work using xrandr. I
noticed that the screen on the laptop would suffer severe, almost
'psychedelic', effects if I hit a certain setting.
unfortunately I don't recall the setting but the ill effect was
consistent and rendered the disply nearly unreadable. and the only
solution was to end the session.
then by accident I hit the 'save this configuration' key and now the
setting is permanent.
btw I created a second user and it doesn't suffer from the problem.
I cannot find a way to restore the proper display setting.
I have been told there is no way to save configuration built into
xrandr so (I guessed) the configuration must be stored by the
TDERandRtray application. but I don't see anything in
'/root/.trinity/share/config/tderandrtrayrc' and besides, if there
were, it should affect the second user too.
it's an Asus Zenbook with Intel HD graphics.
I am considering shifting to the second user and grappling with the
UID and GID changes though I ultimately want to resurrect the original
username.
thank you for any help.
f.
