I'm pretty sure I had this problem before with an
older version of Ubuntu
and TDE, but I don't recall how it was fixed.
Starting with a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04, I installed TDE according to
the instructions at
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall#For_Vivid_.28Ubuntu_15.04.29
During the install of TDE, it asks me to choose between lightdm and
tdm-trinity. I chose tdm-trinity.
It gives an error:
WARNING: /lib/systemd/system/tdm.service is the selected default display
manger but does not exist
initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
insserv: warning: script 'tdm-trinity' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for
script 'tdm-trinity'
insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script
'tdm-trinity'
Rebooting brings me to a command prompt instead of the GUI.
If I log in and do startx it brings up some kind of GUI with no icons or
panel. The only way to get out of it seems to be to power off the machine.
Also tried dpkg-reconfigure lightdm which failed with the same error when I
chose tdm-trinity. If I select lightdm things seem to work once I figured
out how to tell lightdm to start TDE instead of ubuntu.
Thanks in advance.
There is a bit of a problem, that package is called tdm-trinity, service for
systemd is called tdm-trinity.service, but binary is called only tdm. It
seems that this issue will need to find an appropriate solution.
Postinst script in tdm-trinity package is prepared for this, but the script
from lightdm expected service name identical to the name of binary -
therefore trying tdm.service.
Try to uninstall package lightdm a verify whether is in the
file /etc/X11/default-display-manager contained /opt/trinity/bin/tdm and
whether /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service is a symlink
to /lib/systemd/system/tdm-trinity.service
