Hi guys,
following yesterdays discussion I installed Debian Squeeze with Trinity. I encountered
some
problems I am unable to resolve.
1. At first Trinity worked OK. I installed some additional packages I will be needing.
Then I
realized that I didn't format my /home partition used previousle by KDE4. Since I
wanted a clean
install I logged out and removed all files in ~. Now I can't log into Trinity - when
I try to do
that all I get is a blue background and I have to power off my laptop (can't even
reset X with
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). In ~/.xsession-errors I see something like this:
[startkde] kdeinit started successfully.
[trinity kinit] Warrning: connect() failed: Connection refused
kdeinit: Pipe closed unexpectedly: No such file or directoy
kdeinit: Launched DCOPServier, pid = 2778 result = 1
kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting.
QSettings::synx: failed to open '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp' for writing
KCrash: crashing.. crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = ksmserver path = <unknown> pid = 2774
[trinity kinit] Warrning: connect() failed: Połączenie odrzucone
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!
[startkde] Shutting down Trinity...
[trinity kinit] Warrning: connect() failed: Connection refused
[trinity kinit] Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
[startkde] Running Trinity shutdown scripts...
[startkde] Trinity shutdown complete
I don't think this is caused by cleaning up home directory, I suspect some packages
to be causing
this.
I would have said that it probably _is_ caused by your deletion of
your home directory files. I had very similar problems yesterday
after making alterations to my home. After every error message, I
tried to put right whatever it was complaining about, but things just
got worse. I could login to LXDE, but not to Trinity. So it
obviously _was_ at the level of Trinity, not the system.
Finally I solved Trinity's refusal even to open by creating another
user and starting afresh. I now have a functioning TDE again, but
have not yet transferred my emails and folders, which is what I was
trying to do when the problem arose.
2. Assuming I will be able to run TDE again, I am
unable to get NetworkManager to work. I use
nm-applet. I can add the wireless connection, but I am unable to store password (the
field is
always empty, despite me saving the password). Moreover, nm-applet doesn't list any
wirelesss
networks and when I choose to connect to hidden network and select my connection the
"Connect"
button is grayed out.
I have managed this on my netbook, which is Squeeze + Trinity, by
installing Wicd, which I prefer anyway.
