It is consequently my understanding that running the 'dcopserver' command is presumably required as part of the initial boot-up. If such is usually the case I would appreciate knowing what I need to do to have my computer, named Morcom, do so as well.
After major surgery I am now well enough to answer emails to me about some of the difficulties I encountered with TDE 14.0.11. My original installation of TDE on 2021-10-05 had to use Slávik’s ‘unofficial’ preliminary stable build, version R14.0.11, the only TDE one available then for Debian Bullseye. By the way this was a full TDE session; it was not run from inside another desktop environment.
Very soon after the installation I frequently had to reboot because of problems with dcopserver. After considerable experimentation I found that the best way to solve them was right after each boot to open my user in tty1. I then ran command ‘dcopserver –serverid’; no response was received. Next I ran ‘dcopserver’ first alone and then again as ‘dcopserver –serverid’. This time I received confirmation that dcopserver had an ID Bullseye and quoted it. It was at this point that on 2021-11-13 I raised this issue on the Trinity user list.
Sometime after, but I am not sure exactly when, I discovered that some of the other minor irritants in TDE which I discovered since I started using it had disappeared. It consequently occurred to me to check to see whether the dcopserver irritant disappeared as well. It had. After checking various upgrades since 2021-10-05 I confirmed on 2021-11-12 that the TDE version for the preliminary stable build changed from R14.0.11 to R14.0.12 [DEVELOPMENT].
From that point on I no longer had to to do at every boot the procedure
described in the second paragraph. I don’t know what exactly was changed and how, but whatever it was it worked. I also noticed that the time stamp for two DCOPserver entries in my home directory are the date and time of the latest boot. It does seem however that on closing the computer these entries are deleted and then reopened when the computer is next opened.
Regards and Merry Christmas, Ken Heard
