I have TDE 3.5.13 installed in a Debian Squeeze box. Today I ran "apt-get update" and then "apt-get -upgrade", whereby some 350 packages, including many Trinity packages were upgraded. Soon after I shut down the box.
Later I opened it again, but the desktop environment (terminal F7) did not appear. Instead, terminal F1 opened with the login bang. I did however notice in the text which screened by just before the bang appeared a line reading "Starting K display manager : kdm-trinity.
I was able to log in as root and as a user; so access to all files was possible, but applications requiring a display would not open. While logged in as route, running startx opened a generic desktop in F7; but I did not know what to do from that point to open a user.
Clearly something got broken in the upgrade, but I don't know exactly what or how to fix it. Can anyone tell me what to do to get the desktop back?
Running as root, does "/etc/init.d/kdm-trinity restart" change anything?
What's in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
