Klaus Cook scripsit:
I am 80 years old and retired after a career in
Systems
programming and consulting, but I am a complete novice when it
comes to Linux. I have decided to try Ubuntu 20.04 and as part
of the learning process I decided to install the Trinity Desktop
Environment.
After struggling through the installation I finally was able to
get the installation to run without errors, however, the Desktop
does not activate when logging into Ubuntu. Also, Trinity is not
listed in the "sessions" list on the log in page.
1. Is there anyway to check if the installation was completed
correctly?
2. How do I activate the desktop if the installation was
correct?
Thank you,

May I point you to exegnulinux? It comes with TDE, has no GTK
stuff (which makes live easier) and has no systemd (equiv. of M$
svchost):

If you want to stay with ubuntu: Install tdm-trinity, uninstall
all other login managers (slim, gdm ...), and try again.
