Hi,
I just installed Trinity R14.0.5 [1] in a recently installed Arch
Linux based system and I'm not able to start the DM. I added 'exec
starttde' line to .xinitrc and made the needed changes in my PATH
variable, but, when I issue startx command, TDE won't open.
Instead, the following message is shown:
-----------
There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE.
The message returned by the system was:
Could not read network connection list.
/home/username/.DCOPserver_hostname__0
Please check that the "dcopserver program is running!
----------
When I click 'OK', the TDE's splash screen appears, but the first icon
keeps flash infinitely and the above mentioned message appears again
underneath them. When I click on splash screen, it disappears and when
I click in OK again, X exits to tty.
The following video shows exactly what occurs:

This is the output from starttde command:

Deleting files from ~/.trinity and /tmp directories [2] doesn't solve
the problem.
I have an old installation of Arch Linux in a virtual machine where
Trinity works perfectly. So, I decided to play around with it and do
some tests. That system was a little outdated. Thus I decided to do a
pacman -Syu in order to update the system's packages. After updating,
I no more could to start Trinity. It looks like that a new version
from some package is breaking Trinity. Which one? I have no idea! But,
I saved a list of the updated packages and also a list of packages'
version before updating. Maybe some of you could try to find what
package is causing the problem.
Trinity works fine with the following packages' version:

I don't know if this is a Trinity or Arch Linux issue, but the fact is
that I'm unable to use TDE. If at least I knew what package is causing
this I could temporarily keep outdated until this problem is solved.
Thanks for your attention.
