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

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.
:)
