Hi
After I installed successfully trinity on Ubuntu 16.04, I tried to shutdown the machine using Control Alt delete: the trinity menus pops up, as usual, but then when I chose shutdown, the system only logs me out.
Any idea how to solve this?

In kcontrol under system administration (Systemverwaltung) there you can configure the login manager. On one of the register cards ("shtudown", I guess) you can allow users to shutdown the system. I don't know the default, but you can check the option on your system/user account.

Thanks, I know, I have activated that. The command which should be used is /sbin/shutdown, which works when used from the command line.
However when I apply the method I described I will just be logged out.

Just a suggestion: check that you are running tdm. I had this sort of behaviour when running TDE with gdm.

shutdown, restart, hybernation, etc. are executed from TDE in cooperation with login manager == TDM. But you have an active lightdm. That's why it does not work for you.
Note: I know we could improve this - if I remember well, there is an open bug report on TDE Bugzilla for it...
Cheers

Ok this is what was recommended during the installation of trinity!
Sorry to ask that elementary question, how do I change the login massager?
Thanks

On Debian, you usually only need to install a second package (tdm-trinity), and the installation is followed by a query that display manager should be the default. I hope it could be similar on Ubuntu. If it's already installed, you can try: dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
