Hi guys,
following yesterdays discussion I installed Debian Squeeze with Trinity. I encountered some problems I am unable to resolve.
- 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.

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.
- 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.
