Probably a typo, but I'll sure check it right now. And you are right, now
its not an error. Reboot in progress.
And now the startup error seems to be pointing at a missing gladevcp.
Thats is a gcode helper I don't use very often. Removed its references
from the .ini file, and linixcnc runs ok w/o it.
But this is typical, everytime we find a tool that lets us enhance the
usefullness of linuxcnc, it gets removed. A tool that needs GTK-2, I had
installed it to see if it would be helpfull when I was doing something
I'd not done before. I generally write my own g-code, its not THAT hard.
I got to look at it for about 6 months, now its gone and in terms of GUI
usefullness, GTK-3 isn't even as usefull as those famous appendages on a
boar hogs belly. Not your fault but Grrrrrrrrrr.
Than you Slávek, and I hope 2020 is a better year for everybody...

Hi Gene,
in the mail you mention tdm.trinity several times - I do not know if
it is a repeated typo in the mail or if you really typed such a name
in the command line? It should be tdm-trinity.

Also I have TDE installed on one of my milling machines, and logging
in to run linuxcnc after upgrading it to 14.0.7 seems to have gone
aglay there also. I'll see if a similar procedure will fix it later
today when I can get to its own keyboard. There from an ssh -Y
login, dpkg-reconfigure tdm.trinity, reports that tdm.trinity is not
installed. So I callup synaptic and re-install tdm.trinity, but
still get the message that its not installed:(paste from that ssh
login) 14.0.7 on 2 machines, 2 machines failed.

[sudo] password for gene:
dpkg-query: package 'tdm.trinity' is not installed and no
information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: tdm.trinity is not installed
Looks like that package needs help. That machine is still running
wheezy FWIW.

1-Make sure tdm-trinity is installed and configured.
2-Purge lightdm, sddm, kdm, gdm and any other dm you can find
besides tdm.
Did that, now the dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity kills the xsession
and restarts xfce4 w/o presenting a choice menu, it just restartx
xfce4 And now I've got 10 minutes or more getting everything
restarted. grrr.
3-Make sure /etc/X11/default-display-manager
exists and contains
/opt/trinity/bin/tdm.
It exists, and does contain the above.
