I am running: Trinity 3.5.13 updated with Slavek's patches Squeeze LXDE installed and used when essential I have just run aptitude update. There were no upgrades. There were 2 yesterday.
My keyboard has disappeared in Trinity. There is obviously nothing wrong with the keyboard(s), both PS2 and USB, both of which I have tried, or the connection to the motherboard, since keyboards work in the BIOS, gdm and LXDE.
This situation is made worse for me by the fact that k*-trinity applications, with the exception of Konqueror, will not run in LXDE. There is no KWrite, and I do not find Nano a long term acceptable substitute, and I can run neither KMail nor Amarok. Not only are these applications not in the menu, they will not run in the console, with error message "command not found".
What have I done to upset Trinity?? And how do I persuade it to function for me again?? There is obviously a problem with my imported home. Other people for whom I have installed Trinity, but who had little or no previous data, have ridden off into the sunset. But what problem, where?

Lisi,
your problem with the keyboard reminds me that I once had a broken keyboard in Trinity 3.5.12 on the machine my parents. On a text console worked without problems. The KDM worked without problems, but after logging into their profile did not work.
Probably not comforted you - it was something in the profile. Although Trinity 3.5.12 used for more than a year, suddenly "something" happened and keyboard just did not work.
When I put away the profile and started with the new, the keyboard works. Gradually, I put back to profile important settings (kmail, kopete, bookmarks,...) and keyboard still works. Unfortunately, I did not go into such detail, and so I not find causes.
Note: Under LXDE TDE programs can not run, because TDE is not set in the system PATH. TDE into PATH usually adds startkde. Try:
export PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:$PATH export KDEDIR=/opt/trinity export KDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
...and then run TDE programs.
