Hey Gene, if it's not finding libtdecore, it's game over, that's why it's
not working. You can symlink a lib64 to the lib directory as a workaround
for now until you get your packages in sync or whatever the cause of this
is.
cd /opt/trinity
ln -s lib lib64

That makes moving stuff that needs root a 2 step process, but thats
ok, mc can handle both steps, just takes two sessions to do it.

I'm with Gene on part 1 of this question: no root password for a
single user system. I don't see any real purpose in making oneself log
in as root to perform administrative tasks; it is enough to use sudo
or su, so long as the admin is the only user, and the password is very
secure. (If somebody wants to take 20 million years to brute-force my
password, go right ahead, as it isn't written down anywhere, and it is
really long, and has lots of messy characters. Oh, and I also
alternate among 4 different complex passwords.) Of course, quantum
computers will change all this, but maybe by then we'll also have some
kind of comparable quantum encryption.
However, part 2: tdesu is very useful for getting things done; and it
never makes me log in as root. To do that, you have to set up your
system for root logins, so it seems to me that you must have done this
either on the original installation (one of the questions asked by the
installer), or maybe you did it under the Trinity Control Center:
TCC / System Administration / Login Manager / Convenience /
Miscellaneous / Allow Root Login
I never clicked that box, but maybe Gene did.

Hi Gene,
I have no idea how you can have TDE installed and running without
one of the most important TDE libraries. Perhaps a path problem.
No, well not intentional. Its looking, or trying to,
at /opt/trinity/lib64 but there's only a lib dir. Maybe this
explains other stuff thats wonky too. Like my index problems with
kmail a couple months back, etc etc.
This was a 32 bit install until I updated to stretch for amd64 on
this machine.
So how do I convert an uptodate r14 install from 32 bit to 64 bit?
here's the trinity.list
# Trinity repositories
deb
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian/
stretch main
deb
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0
.0/debi an/ stretch main
So I don't see an amd64 spec.
Meanwhile have you considered setting a root
password? Requiring
a key instead of a password for ssh root login makes sense. And
requiring sudo on systems with multiple admins with different
privilege levels makes sense. But I don't see why you are making
things hard for yourself on your systems but not having a root
password.
1. I'm the only active, warm blooded user 1000. There are of course
other "users" but most of that is just sandboxing.
And 2, debian has never been real fond of pw's for root.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
