Hi
I got no Trinity 3.5.13-sru desktop in OpenSUSE 13.1 after install.
I choose OpenSUSE 13.1 because it is to a Evergeen OpenSUSE with
extended support.
I followed the instruction in https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall
even edit file "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager" and set
DISPLAYMANAGER="tdm"
And althought I got triinity login manager
the desktop that started reveral to Lxde, the other desktop I installed.
I tried to edit "/etc/sysconfig/windowmanager" and set
WINDOWMANAGER="Twin" or "KDE", "tde" or even
WINDOWMANAGER="/opt/trinity/bin/startkdm"
it seems to be still hardcoded as described in
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4125
Any one have suggestion on making trinity start after login?
Thanks in advance

From the login manager one must select the session type TDE if it isn't the
default or last used.

WINDOWMANAGER is not valid in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager AFAIK.
DEFAULT_WM="tde"
Above works for my 13.1 on host gx28c, but it is using trinity-tdm-14.0.0-1,
not 3.5.13.
On my 13.1 host big41 with 3.5.13.2-3, those settings strings are the same,
but instead of a greeter I get a mini window that tells me I need to
Ctrl-Alt-Del to begin that ignores Ctrl-Alt-Del, so I have to login on a vtty
and use startx to start TDE.

Sorry for the late reply, installinmg OpenSUSE 13.1 with trinity prove
very challenging.
Your suggest worked but I decide to reinstall a mimimum x session then
put trinity on, as from the past
that soem times the newly install desktop might not become default
even you choose it, unless you manually
edit it in the proper section in /etc/sysconfig
I think I can help you with Ctrl-Alt-Del problem, as I discover you
have to hit the other del key in the In-Del-Home-End-Pgup-PgDn block
on your keyboard to get it to work.
I have to comment on the lack of polish when Trinity 3.5.13-sru is
installed, I mean it all worked but when using Yast
to install applications, it got put into the proper top level menu,
but there is no sub menus like in KDE 3. So of you install a lot of
applicatons, it all ended up in a large almost unmanagable mess.
Should one regard Trinity 3.5.13-as not getting any attention at all
with all effort focus on R 14 series ?

I am using 13.5.13.2 right now and my menu is fine and
well sorted, but I
run Debian.
I'm using openSUSE 13.1, both because I've been using SuSE since 1998 and
because Wheezy started being simply too outdated for some software to run on
it without a lot of tweaks.
TDE 3.5.12 installs very well if one follows the instrcutions. And I just
updated to 14.0 (mind you, I first dd'ed my system and updated the copy) and
as far as I can say it runs perfectly.
I must admit I hardly use the menu (always hated those "start buttons) so I
can't comment on that so much. It seems I got a few duplicates after the
upgrade, but otherwise a very smooth thing.
Jessie gets a try once that infamous bug has been tracked down :)

There may well be the rub!

Yes - I barely use the menu. I had a look to see what state it was in before
replying just now.
