Thanks for any help. debian stretch on amd64 if
that helps.
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.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
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.
gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc/configs/GO704-5i25-7i76$ gksudo synaptic
gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc/configs/GO704-5i25-7i76$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure
tdm.trinity
[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.
