try this:
locate synaptic
if it isn't found anywhere, it has been uninstalled (probably). you can get it back with
aptitude install synaptic

if you run the command xhost local: you should then beable to run synaptic as root user its saying command not found when run as normal user because its located in /usr/sbin (witch only root is alowed to run from) or alternatively you could do sudo synaptic (if your in sudoers list)

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

no, that's not the thing. your X is not running as display 0 nor 1. could you make
$ ls /var/log/Xorg.*
This should give some files Xorg.<a number>.log, where <a number> is the display id. that's the thing you pass to synaptic:

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)

Good point, using 'xhost +' essentially turns off access control. I use:
'xhost +local:<username>'
This controls the host, not necessarily the local box, and the user allowed to connect to the xserver.

I really have an odd feeling about the changing display id, but I do not know what causes it.
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 desktop screen, no login window. so I reinstalled gdm, ran startx & got 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..

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 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
etc

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 x-session-manager x-terminal-emulator and more. It should be clear when you get there.

oh, my bad... didn't realize there were MULTIPLE screens to configure..
about 45 screens later... There are 3 choices for the alternative x-session-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-session-manager).

Normal.
in a user terminal I get this: $ synaptic bash: synaptic: command not found
Also normal.
from the debian menu, clicking synaptic does nothing.
Can you check if you have kdesu or kdesudo from trinity installed? 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)
Sorry Robert,

it always worked ans still works. Thw dialog knows how to treat it. Just try it.

Try to launch it as normal user, not root.

ok, the REAL answer is!!!!! ( are you really ready???)
$ sux - ( enter root password) # synaptic ( oh YES it works!!! )
$ man sux sux - wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials
