Looking in journal and Xorg.0.log I see no clues. X starts, but startx just starts X and exits. Trinity-tdm is installed, but no other *dm, and I see no evidence of its configuration in systemctl list-unit-files or systemctl list-units. /var/log/tdm.log was last written over a year ago. Trinity tries to start using startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde, but a popup comes twice, then X exits:
"There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The messag returned by the system was:
Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_hp945_0
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!"
startx icewm works.
How does one do that, and why isn't there a TDM running?
startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde works, but why not TDM? MCC claims it setup TDM, but it's not happening. The only places dm shows up in the journal are within HDMI, administator, dma and loadmodules.
