[trinity-users] startx exits instantly in Mageia 5/R14 (where to set global default session type?)
Fresh minimal HTTP Mageia 5 installation today, followed by minimalist TDE installation attempt using urpmi.
Unless startx has /opt/trinity/bin/starttde appended, desktop briefly paints, then back to vtty from which started. If started from greeter, TDE session is OK, though many items are missing from systemsettings, e.g. TDE components, required to reach session manager.
Nothing clueful in Xorg.0.log. This is all that's in .xsession-errors after attempting startx: /etc/X11/Xsession: line 108: /usr/sbin/chksession: No such file or directory /root/Music was removed, reassigning MUSIC to homedir /root/Pictures was removed, reassigning PICTURES to homedir /root/Videos was removed, reassigning VIDEOS to homedir /etc/X11/Xsession: line 175: xclock: command not found /etc/X11/Xsession: line 176: xvt: command not found /etc/X11/Xsession: line 185: /usr/bin/xsm: No such file or directory
Where does global default session type need to be set? /etc/sysconfig/desktop with DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/tdm doesn't to it. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MageiaInstall doesn't help.

I am not familiar with mageia, but this
/etc/X11/Xsession: line 185: /usr/bin/xsm: No such file or directory
clearly indicates you are missing significant part of Xorg.

Clearly files are missing. Significant I'm not sure about, since TDE works just fine loaded via TDM. MCC, rpm and urpmq seem unable to find me a package that provides that file, or xclock or xvt or xsm.

"xsm" stands for "X Session Manager". "xvt" is a minimal terminal application, and "xclock" is a clock. My distro keeps them on-hand for testing and use with systems that have an X server and a bare WM, rather than a full desktop environment. You shouldn't need to have them installed to run TDE, so these warnings are a red herring.
Do you have anything in .xinitrc?
