Re: [trinity-users] Could not start kdeinit error

Thank you both, Slavek and Tim. I had tried re-running apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade but that did not help. I just followed Slavek's advice and was surprised to see that packages were removed rather than upgraded: root@denise:~# dpkg --configure -a root@denise:~# aptitude dist-upgrade The following packages will be REMOVED: gs{u} kdesdk-scripts-trinity{u} kpilot-trinity{u} libavahi-compat-libdnssd1{u} libavahi-qt3-dev{u} libdbus-qt-1-1c2{u} libkjsembed1-trinity{u} libogg-dev-la{u} libpisock9{u} libpoppler-qt2{u} libsensors3{u} libxxf86misc1{u} However, it has not fixed the problem. The TDE splash screen appears stuck on starting system services and, behind it, is an error message about could not start kdeinit :( What next? Thanks - John
