starttde won't even start due to
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2557 so I run
/opt/trinity/bin/starttde from the xterm that startx puts on the display, in
which the following appears (among much else which I cannot figure out how to
copy and paste into any file):
[starttde] TDE_SESSION_UID: 0
[tdeinit] Shutting down running client.

[artsd] There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active...
[artsd] Error: Can't add object reference (probably artsd is already
running). If you are sure it is not already running, remove the relevant files...

konsole: WARNING: Unable to use
/opt/trinity/share/apps/konsole/screen.desktop W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This
program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
...
What program needs --system? How do I configure that way? How do I get sound
in these distros? Same distros typically make sound automagically on other
hardware, so why this machine's trouble is inexplicable, especially as it
works as expected with Jessie.
Running alsaconf unloads all kernel snd modules, then reports cannot find any
sound device.
