In retrospect, the original message – Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?). Check your installation. – was misleading. If my analysis herein is correct a full temporary directory is not the issue. The command lnusertemp, if it is a command, could refer to a UID number; which it could not do for the desktop but could for the laptop.
So you changed you user UID, but you don't say how.
I think that for the system a directory that can't be written to can be considered full, as it has the same result.
There are directories for the users in /var/tmp. If your /var/tmp/tdecache-<user> had UID 1001 but <user> has UID 1000 it is not writable and TDE will fail.
