Hi guys,
New problem ! Following an upgrade to Debian Jessie, TDE 14 Desktop,
when booting up, everything is fine until the machine gets
to "Loading the Desktop". At this point it seems to hang for a
minute or so before becoming a blank blue screen with only the mouse
cursor present. From here the only thing that can be done is to
select VT1 and login manually, typing "startx" gets to the Desktop.
I've noticed that only VT1 will get to the Desktop and all the other
terminals except VT8 leave you with a blue background, whilst VT8 now
has just a tiny blinking cursor on a black screen which has no
response to anything.
Where do I need to look in order to put things back to normal ?
Thanks in advance.

I've got display manager problems with TDE 14 on Jessie, after an upgrade
where I stupidly rebooted before running dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity.
Problem solving was taking so much time that I am living with it until I have
the opportunity to reinstall.
Mine emergency boots into LXDE, which I uninstalled and which <aptitude show>
and <aptitude search> both say is not there. To use the American term, I
hope correctly, go figure.

That is about as correct a usage as you'll see.
And a problem that I hope is fixed by the official Jessie release.
Is this "dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity" the whole fix?

Hi Gene,
That is I believe correct. What its telling you is that it will run only
as root (PID 0) And, since root doesn't normally fix user problems
caused by a miss-config in the users own X startups, is why I asked if
that was the whole of the fix in this case.
I'd not normally expect it to be. However Lisi hasn't replied yet, I
assume because the machine is being contankerous.

Thankyou for that interesting bit of info, I hadn't understood what
that message was trying to tell me.
I've just had to go through the VT1 steps to get back to a useable
desktop. I've also noticed that a number of things no longer work
when I login this way.

As far as I am aware LXDE has never been installed on this machine !
Though you having mentioned it, I looked through the menu on the
login screen and clicked on TDE and then Login. Behold the machine
started up as normal. At this moment I don't know if I'm going to
have to do this every time or if its just a one off. It is not
normal behaviour at all, and I haven't seen anything in the logfiles
that would give me a clue.
