Help! I got myself in a mess after updating. The
usual, reverting to lightdm
and LXDE. Which mess I made worse. Well, I couldn't really see what I was
doing. So I purged lightdm. No better. So I purged LXDE. No better. So I
purged then installed TDE.
aptitude purge tde-trinity
aptitude install tde-trinity
(The second as per
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… )
Nothing much happened. Only one package was touched.
<aptitude show> says that **LXDE is not installed** and that TDE is installed.
It says that lightdm is not installed. It says that tdm-trinity is
installed.
But when I boot up it is LXDE that launches, bypassing any dm. Yes, I know.
That sounds totally mad. But I have repeatedly checked. I am flummoxed.
Reporting real error messages is terribly difficult because I haven't got LXDE
set up so that I can see it well, and the virtual terminals are impossible.
Wiping and reinstalling would be the easiest thing to do, and also the
quickest. But it would also be defeatist. Has anyone any other ideas?
Thanks,
Lisi

Hi Lisi!
Assuming yout TDE-Installation is (almost) sane, please do from the commandline (not
terminal in X11):
# aptitude install tdm-trinity
# dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
# reboot
