Just wondering if anybody else has had problems with soundkonverter-trinity.
I installed the package and dependencies, and when I try to reinstall or upgrade, both apt and aptitude tell me that it's already installed, and the most recent version, etc. But when I try to run the program, I get an error message (see attachment for screenshot).
TDEinit could not launch 'soundkonverter-trinity', could not find the executable.
In the meanwhile, I've been using soundconverter, which is adequate for the moment, but not what I want for regular use. TDE's soundkonverter-trinity offers so many more options for fine adjustments, and sound quality is very important to me, as music is my side hustle. ;-)
This is the only problem I've been having with TDE at the moment. By the way, I am running Devuan Beowulf, and just ran upgrade, but I am told that everything is current.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions here, as I use this program a lot.

It's working correctly here (0.3.8 from R14.0.9 development, on Debian 10)

Thanks, but I have only just sorted out the problem there. It seems that it is not soundkonverter-trinity, but rather something to do with the Trinity menu. Now soundkonverter is working again like normal.
Once I know more about the problem with the menu, I will report, if there is anything worth telling.

Hi Bill,
although the package is called soundkonverter-trinity, the binary is called only soundkonverter, ie without the suffix trinity.
Cheers

Yes, so I discovered. I had tried to create a way to use a run command as soundkonverter-trinity; because in the past I had sometimes inadvertently installed a KDE 4/5 component, so that the "other" soundkonverter got installed instead of the Trinity version, along with other KDE krap, and then I couldn't get rid of them.
That, I believe, is how my shortcut in the TDE menu got messed up. In any case, I manage at present to avoid all KDE krap, and things are *almost* back to normal for running this package.
Now I can run soundkonverter from the TDE menu; but if I use alt-F2 to run it, then I must use the run command "/opt/trinity/bin/soundkonverter" -- which works, but seems rather much. Otherwise, I get that same error message.
On a side note -- maybe this ought to be a new thread? -- is there a way to restore the default settings for the TDE menu (or TDE menu editor)? I do not want to go through a complete system reinstallation in order to achieve this, but just to get the original TDE menu restored.

Timeshift or backintime would have been your friends....... .............. .............. if you had used them in the past. Scratch your head.

Thanks, I will start using them now.
