An upgrade from 20.04 via 22.04 to 24.04 (necessary for other reasons)
went quite smoothly and I then followed the TDE upgrade instructions.
Before I always started TDE from the command line which was OK.
Now I cannot find starttde anywhere so startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde
doesn't work.
xorg etc is installed.
apt search starttde returns ksmserver-trinity/now
4:14.1.3-0ubuntu20.04+0 amd64 [residual-config]
Why 20.04? It seems that there is a lot of old stuff around.
apt install reports that package is not available and then refers to a
new package of the same name but which has no installation candidte.
I've tried removing all instances of tde following the instructions but
updatedb followed by locate still shows them and /etc/trinity,
/opt/trinity etc are still there.
Any clue how to fix this? I really don't like any of the default window
managers so it needs to be fixed!!

Maybe try sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity; also, make sure that desktop-base
is removed, and desktop-base-trinity installed.

[residual-config] means that package is not installed, but configuration
files are present, which is normal situation when package was uninstalled
nut not purged. You need to add correct trinity source for 24.04 and
install it

All good here on 24.04, upgraded from 22.04, upgraded from 20.04, upgraded from
18.04, upgraded from 16.04, upgraded from 14.04 (installed 2014-06-23 on host

New subject: Cannot start TDE after upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04. SOLVED
May thanks for the responses and help.
It may have been because I upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 first but never
upgraded, let alone ran, TDE in 22.04, just proceeded to upgrade to
24.04.
In the end I had user the nuclear option - remove absolutely everything
- /etc/trinity, /etc/kubuntu-default-settings-trinity, /opt/trinity, my
home .trinity directory, etc, purge, clear the cache, remove the 'rc'
packages, just leave the keyring. Then a couple of reboots later I did
a full install and now I have it running.
Phew.
:)
