Try clearing all tmp directories, as well as FF/SM and other browser caches.
Anything temporary, dump it. Then go to tdecontrol and set it to clear tmp.
Do the same for root, if you use it alot.

You ought to see my external drives: the eternal rummage sale of the mind; 25
years of accumulated treasures.
I do trim it down the stuff in my home folder once in a while, and back up
files to external drives. At least 6 gb of that is 15 years or more of
emails. And then there are some duplicates, where I copy my mozilla or other
folders as a precaution before I attempt something both daring and stupid.
But like I say, once I get it like I want, I get rid of the garbage.

Thank you for all this info (seriously, I'm not being sarcastic).
It's very useful.
Now, if only doctors would hand out info like this.
I know, asking too much.
Thank you again,

Hi Guys,
An annoying issue has appeared !
I'm running Q4OS, Trinity Desktop on an AMD dual core machine with
2Gb ram and 500Gb HDD.
Problem: On boot up, maybe every second or third time, I get a black
screen with "[*** ] Start job running - ~0.XX seconds. 1:30."
If I Ctrl Alt Del the machine restarts with the same screen and
message. If I let it continue, I then get a page of text with "Ctrl
D" to continue, "Or enter Root Password to Login"
Using "Ctrl D" everything just stops and I have to hard boot the
machine, It then goes back to the start job again.
If I login with the root password, I get pages and pages of what I
think maybe logs. At the end of this if I "StartX" I get my normal
desktop. At this point if I logout and hard boot the machine,
everything comes up as normal.
I haven't a clue what is going on here... Help !
Thanks Guys:

due to a misunderstanding with my co-admin, the following happend:
the trinity sources where removed in the sources.list and afterwards 2
Dist upgrades where performed:
wheezy(7) -> jessie(8)
jessie(8) -> strech(9)
now I'm unable to get rid of the installed trinity packages:
apt-get purge *-trinity
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package *-trinity
E: Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression
E: Couldn't find any package by regex '*-trinity'
But there are installled packages:
dpkg -l | grep trinity
ii akregator-trinity 4:3.5.13.2-0debian7.0.0+0
amd64 RSS feed aggregator for KDE
ii amor-trinity 4:3.5.13.2-0debian7.0.0+0
amd64 a Trinity creature for your desktop
ii ark-trinity 4:3.5.13.2-0debian7.0.0+0
amd64 graphical archiving tool for Trinity
ii arts-trinity 4:3.5.13.2-0debian7.0.0+1
all sound system from the official KDE release
[lots more]
Any advie, how to procede?
so, to see if i could do it, i've flashed ubuntu 13.04 to a 2012 asus nexus
tablet. to my surprise, wifi and such work. *not* to my surprise, i hate
hate hate the ubuntu default desktop and want to replace it as soon as i
can.
after some poking around (made more interesting by an onscreen keyboard
that comes and goes as it wishes, irrespective of whether text needs to be
entered, which is annoying when you don't need it and maddening when you
do), i got a terminal running and sought to install some of the
essentials. (by tradition, the first thing i install on a new linux system
is mc, because it is the best tool to get me out of whatever trouble i get
myself into.) and i discovered that all the repositories are now 404. am
hoping to find someplace where they are archived so as to severely edit my
sources list and get, among other things, tde. the corresponding debian
distro is raring.
it does sort of run (though about half the stuff is canonical trying to
sell me music and stuff, which i think they've stopped doing anyway) but
without a decent desktop i can't imagine how i can put it through its
paces. and yes, the icons are tiny, beyond the fact that ubuntu touch
kinds sucks in general. in tde i can make the icons bigger.
i'm hoping to justify the expenditure of time . . . and tun tde on a
tablet.

The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar:
the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson,
available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
if you create a new user? Still broken there? (broken profile?)
Yes...New user did not fix corrupted icon set...
[SOLVED]
Downloaded latest crystalSVG icon set from kde store downloads as .tar file
unpacked and replaced entire set...
Fixed it ..must have been corrupted..
Had to switch the new one in and out several times to get all the categories to show up and populate...but working nice now...
Danny
Never asked for help before here...but couldn't figure it out myself
this time....
Stretch standard
Trinity last version out
Working fine
Just noticed
Desktop
Select a launcher (an app icon on the desktop)
Properties
Icon Select - Kdesktop
Click on Icon to change it
Cursor spins forever like it doesn't know where to find icons
All desktop is fine and all icons are fine...
Looked at
/usr/share/icons
/usr/share/pixmaps
/opt/trinity/share/icons
/opt/trinity/share/pixmaps
No joy....anyone...throw me a fish....
I can't really analyze your problem but this is what I know (and do):
- I prefer the "KDE Classic Icon Theme" but not some of it's icons (the
network icon for instance). So I created my own theme by copying the few
icons I wanted from one theme to the other.
- So, everytime I install TDE somewhere, I need to transport my Icon set.
Which is actually very easy:
copy the (modified) directory from /opt/trinity/share/icons (so it would be
the Crystalsvg directory for you) to /some/backup/location. In my case it's
on a nfs share.
after a new install, use konqueror as filemanager (super user mode) to copy
that directory in /opt/trinity/share/icons
select the correct icon theme in trinity control center.
Never has any trouble.
So if I were at you place, I'd delete everything in /opt/trinity/share/icons,
copy back the icon directories (I can let you grab a copy) and that should do
the trick.
Thierry
I will install one new set and check everything but I'd rather know why than
just fix it if I can...tnx
Danny
These are the fish I can think of...
What does Trinity Control Center say? Can you change the icon theme there?
Thierry
Ah...you've opened up a symptom.....good...good...
Found none of the tde installed icons sets would let me change an icon on the desktop using kdesktop/properties/select-icon
But two that had been externally installed worked fine...gnome and adwait
Using Trinity Control Center as root it allowed me to remove all other themes except I wanted to try and rescue crystalSVG so I left it
and exhaustively compared and investigated...but no obvious issues with permissions or missing pieces.
I just wish someone with in-depth knowledge of this issue could tell me where the path or symlink is that tells
Select - Icon Kdesktop where to look for those crystalSVG icons...
I'm pretty sure if I installed an external downloaded theme say the new crystalSVG it would work...but hate to do that...
I even reinstalled
tdebase-data-trinity (crystalSVG actual icons)
tdeartwork (all the others except mono)
tde-icons-mono-trinity (monochrome)
And it puts them all back but the system still cannot find them...
When you go to desktop and have the system set for any of the tde installed themes now
and you pick out an icon on the desktop
you select properties
and then click on that icon
boom lala land....cursor forever...even let it run overnight...
but if you switch to and externally installed theme
it goes right to the different locations...and shows those icons for you to visually select and change as you wish
In all folders
/actions
/animations
/apps
/categories
/devices
/emblems
etc....etc....etc...
