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.

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.
