that's correct.
but locate should find it anyway in that location, as proposed.

But synaptic is gtk. If anyone got a Trinity app running as root with
sux I would really like to know. (I don't/won't use sudo, it's disabled)
I read, can't remember where, it's better to put this in your ~/bashrc
than use xhost + :
#maybe this fixes x for root
export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
It works for non-trinity (gtk)

Good point, using 'xhost +' essentially turns off access control. I use:

This controls the host, not necessarily the local box, and the user allowed to

I really have an odd feeling about the changing display id, but I do not know

gdm: uninstall gdm and reinstall kdm-trinity, that should do the trick.

well, as
soon as I did apt-get gdm remove X went away..
I removed & reinstalled kdm-trinity. tried startx and got my XFCE

my GDM login screen...
back to a trinity session for my wife & gnome for me, running under GDM.
I guess I don't know how to start kdm-trinity..

Do you have /opt/trinity/bin/kdm ? kdm-trinity is in /etc/init.d here
and shows in sysv-rc-conf.

Looks like kde4's kdm to me, it's kdm-trinity here.
I like that command though, lots of good info there!!

hm,
strange.
what is the difference with xdm?
xdm is just a minimalist x-login manager (like gdm, kdm...).
normally it doesn't matter which one (from the installed ones) is configured,
as all present alternatives will be selectable.
in the end, when nothing else works than gdm, you can always
rename /usr/bin/gdm to something else and make /usr/bin/gdm a symlink
to /opt/trinity/bin/kdm :)
(brute force, I know).

I....don't think I want to do that.. It might blow up & I might not
remember what really belongs where. It is working now, so I am going to
leave well-enough alone:)
I'm glad I got it working so I could update to squeeze yet keep kde3 for
my wife, but it sure has used a lot of my time getting it to work!

I see the kdm-trinity in the pastebin link so it is installed. It needs
to be also in /etc/init.d (In my system /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity is a
file not symlink)
You might just need to run
update-rc.d kdm-trinity defaults
to set it up
In numerous Trinity installs I have done it has always.. just worked.

To get a tidy package list (you can even pipe such a list to apt for
install/purge and review it first) :
dpkg -l|grep ii|awk '{print $2}' >packages.txt
dpkg -l|grep ii|awk '{print $2}'|grep trinity >trinity.txt

what does that have to do with kdm-trinity? or what do I select?
If not sure leave as it is then it moves on. Default web browser

Also, if you have gksu installed?

Hi Paul,
to start synaptic you normally press Alt+F2 and type into the command line: synaptic.
After a few seconds you will be asked for the root password. Then synaptic starts.

That won't work... you should launch it with " /opt/trinity/bin/kdesu
synaptic " in order
to get the root password dialog. Just putting in "synaptic" won't
allow you to do anything with it (it's not being run as root then)
