Has anybody yet come up with a quick fix for this bug? or even a slow fix? I have read all the comments in this thread, and also follow Michele Calgaro's instructions about changing the lines (from kde to tde) in that file:
~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
However, when I reboot, I still get the same error messages.
I am running Devuan Ascii (= Debian Stretch), and I have purged all other desktops and their spawn, notably KDE4 and KDE5. As much as possible, I am running pure TDE right now, except for some pan-Linux items that do not bring in KDE dependencies, etc.
It is not a big problem; only a slight annoyance that I can live with until it gets resolved. But now I am spoilt, as I am used to TDE working without a hitch. Everything else works fine, no problems.
On the bright side: a slightly buggy TDE is still ten thousand times better than any other desktop out there.

Hi Bill,
can you post the error message once again?
Nik
The error message only comes up when I boot into the Trinity Desktop, but before I have any tools with which to capture a screenshot, or even to copy the text. I would have to take a photo with my phone, then transfer that to my desktop, etc.
However, I believe other people, earlier in the thread, quoted the gist of the error message.
quoting from L.S. McCarty's email (2020.04.29):
It says "error code 9
Common failures include file and directory permissions"
The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename>
I get a series of three messages, which say more or less the same thing. Next time I reboot, I will try to take a photo; but since my system is stable otherwise, you might be waiting for a long while. Rather than relying on my memory, there are probably others who can quote it more exactly.
Oh, this one. You have to execute r14-xgd-update by hand, then it goes away. At least this was what I did :)
Nik
forgot: might be that it has to be run by root, too.
Oh, you mean just change the permissions on that file? That might be it.
Bill
Something more to report: I had a look inside, and found that this file seems to be getting changed *back* to kde (that is, after I had manually changed all the lines to tde).
/var/tmp/tdecache-<USER>/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt
I tend to make shortcuts for myself, so just copy in the correct lines; therefore, I *know* that I changed these lines from kde to tde, but now they are changed back to kde.
Any ideas about how this might have happened?
Bill
