[tde-users] TDE does not open

In mid-October last I installed in a desktop computer Debian Bookworm and TDE. After the installation I was able successfully to transfer the source of the operating system from the CD disk to the built-in source. After opening the OS from the local source I installed an application and was able to use it. I also made some adjustments to the TDE ‘kicker’. I then closed the computer for the night. The next morning I expected to open the computer without difficulty. So I opened it and got as far as the ‘Login to TDE’ window. I entered my password. Instead of opening the TDE I received the following message: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?). Check your installation. As of this point the only access I had to the computer was by a ‘console login’. Fortunately I had a spare laptop without any operating system installed. I consequently installed on it the same OS and TDE. This time I did not receive the message quoted above. In time I was able to install all the applications I wanted and adjust the kicker and other TDE features to my liking. While I have been using the laptop for several weeks now, I would like to be able to use the desktop. I did however do an online search; all I found were a few posts about this message dated on average ten years ago. A few made reference to the possible absence of KDE files, a diagnosis which I did not think relevant. Others made reference to having the right permissions. Without however complete access to the desktop it was difficult to check permissions of ‘temporary directories’. Directories which appeared to me relevant and where I was able to see the permissions in both computers, all were identical. I cannot understand why what appears to me as identical installations in both computers would not work in both. How can I ‘check the installation’ if access to the computer is so restricted? All help, suggestions, etc. will be gratefully received.
