FYI,
I have been using TDE 3.5.13 nightlies in Virtualbox, Debian Squeeze host, it was
working great,
I decided to upgrade my workstation, TDE 3.5.12 to 3.5.13, Debian Squeeze from the
nightlies server.
Failed miserably. the upgrade/install went without a hitch, but upon starting,
KDM-Trinity would crash. Never got a login scren. Removing desktop-base-trinity
made it possible to get a login screen. Logging in I get an error 'kdeinit
failed to start' so no TDE apps worked.
I run dual monitors and after the upgrade only one monitor would work. I have a
custom xorg.conf file that has been working for several releases of Debian, it
seems TDE 3.5.13 handlles X differently than 3.5.12.
I tried a fresh install on Ubuntu 10.04, on a machine with a somewhat
old Nvidia 7300 (and using the nightly builds). There was no real
problem (seems pulse audio is a little itchy) and setting up the dual
monitors from the settings panel was a piece of cake.
So i could not say of your problems are linked to the upgrade, your
hardware, It's not clear for me either what exactly you did, as you
say "Removing desktop-base-trinity made it possible to get a login
screen". But if you removed desktop-base-trinity I'am not really
surprised that "TDE apps worked" as it seems you had just removed the
base they needed.
