I'm a long-time TDE user who just updated to the final TDE 14.0.8 from the 14.0.8 development version. I'm using a Debian sid version with kernel 5.6.0-7.1-liquorix-amd64 which has been working well. The update went well and everything appears to be working fine (not too surprised there as the development versions were good) but there is an issue at startup.
There are 3 notices that come up that indicate the r4-xdg-update script has not completed successfully. I've restarted about 6 or 7 times but it hasn't gone away.
It says "error code 9
Common failures include file and directory permissions"
The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename>
I'm not sure exactly how to proceed but expect the solution is some relatively simple editing of some TDE configuration files. Please advise.
Thank you in advance for any assistance rendered.

Hi L., yes problems with test 9 are sort of expected, as we wrote in the release notes as well. Thanks for getting in touch. Check the following file "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" and check the contents of the "~/.local/share/applications" folder. I think it is possible/likely you have both "kde-*.desktop" and "tde-*.desktop" files for the ones listed in your email. For example 'kde-kbiff.desktop' and 'tde-kbiff.desktop'. To fix this problem you can rename kde-* files to tde-* files and edit "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" so to rename or remove any reference like "<Filename>kde-*.desktop</Filename>". Depending on your edit history and system setup, the same file could be names in many different sections, mostly "includes" and "excludes" ones, so you need to be sure to see where the file is required.
The starting scripts automatically does the rename in case it is safe to do so, otherwise it fails and requires user intervention to avoid messing things up, as in your case.
Let us know how it goes and if you need more support.
Cheers Michele

Well, I do not have the OP's problem. But I was curious.

So, would it be proper for me to replace the 3 instances of "org.kde.kwrite.desktop" with "kwrite.desktop" in applications-tdemenuedit.menu ??
The contents of my "~/.local/share/applications" appear 'clean'.
Thanks you, Jonesy

You seem to have some KDE4 / KDE5 (or as it is called now) stuff installed that appear in the menu besides TDE items because the name and location of org.kde.kwrite.desktop file probably matches KDE4 / KDE5. Therefore, such files are probably correct and do not need to be renamed in the menu.
Cheers

I should have no KDE4 / KDE5 stuff installed. This machine was built with a Trinty Ubuntu 16.04 installation DVD -- maybe 3+ years ago. I can't think of installing any "off brand" programs that pulled in any KDE4 / KDE5 stuff.
A curiosity. But, I will let sleeping dogs lie. :-)

Now I have looked and in the TDE LiveCD Ubuntu 16.04 kwrite from KDE5 is not installed. It probably had to be installed there with some dependency.

Has anybody yet come up with a quick fix for this bug? or even a slow fix? I have read all the comments in this thread, and also follow Michele Calgaro's instructions about changing the lines (from kde to tde) in that file:
~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
However, when I reboot, I still get the same error messages.
I am running Devuan Ascii (= Debian Stretch), and I have purged all other desktops and their spawn, notably KDE4 and KDE5. As much as possible, I am running pure TDE right now, except for some pan-Linux items that do not bring in KDE dependencies, etc.
It is not a big problem; only a slight annoyance that I can live with until it gets resolved. But now I am spoilt, as I am used to TDE working without a hitch. Everything else works fine, no problems.
On the bright side: a slightly buggy TDE is still ten thousand times better than any other desktop out there.

The error message only comes up when I boot into the Trinity Desktop, but before I have any tools with which to capture a screenshot, or even to copy the text. I would have to take a photo with my phone, then transfer that to my desktop, etc.
However, I believe other people, earlier in the thread, quoted the gist of the error message.
quoting from L.S. McCarty's email (2020.04.29):
It says "error code 9
Common failures include file and directory permissions"
The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename>
I get a series of three messages, which say more or less the same thing. Next time I reboot, I will try to take a photo; but since my system is stable otherwise, you might be waiting for a long while. Rather than relying on my memory, there are probably others who can quote it more exactly.

quoting from L.S. McCarty's email (2020.04.29):
It says "error code 9
Common failures include file and directory permissions"
The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename>
I get a series of three messages, which say more or less the same thing. Next time I reboot, I will try to take a photo; but since my system is stable otherwise, you might be waiting for a long while. Rather than relying on my memory, there are probably others who can quote it more exactly.
Oh, this one. You have to execute r14-xgd-update by hand, then it goes away. At least this was what I did :)

forgot: might be that it has to be run by root, too.
Oh, you mean just change the permissions on that file? That might be it.

Has anybody yet come up with a quick fix for this bug? or even a slow fix? I have read all the comments in this thread, and also follow Michele Calgaro's instructions about changing the lines (from kde to tde) in that file:
~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
However, when I reboot, I still get the same error messages.
I am running Devuan Ascii (= Debian Stretch), and I have purged all other desktops and their spawn, notably KDE4 and KDE5. As much as possible, I am running pure TDE right now, except for some pan-Linux items that do not bring in KDE dependencies, etc.
It is not a big problem; only a slight annoyance that I can live with until it gets resolved. But now I am spoilt, as I am used to TDE working without a hitch. Everything else works fine, no problems.
On the bright side: a slightly buggy TDE is still ten thousand times better than any other desktop out there.

can you post the error message once again?

Something more to report: I had a look inside, and found that this file seems to be getting changed *back* to kde (that is, after I had manually changed all the lines to tde).
/var/tmp/tdecache-<USER>/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt
I tend to make shortcuts for myself, so just copy in the correct lines; therefore, I *know* that I changed these lines from kde to tde, but now they are changed back to kde.
Any ideas about how this might have happened?

Maybe you missed some KDE5 (or even KDE4) bit when you were uninstalling things?

Are the menu entries still flagged if you delete then recreate them?
Here are some suggestions of last resort:
The hacky fix is to trick the script into thinking that it's already run to completion by editing ~/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals. The section you want would look like this:
[R14 XDG Updates] Updated=false Version=201412270
Flip the "Updated" key to "true" and the script shouldn't fire again until you update TDE and it installs a new version of the script.
The even hackier fix is to edit starttde and prevent the script from running at all.
Don't do either of these if you care about the minor housekeeping fixes the script makes. They are not the "correct" answer, just a way of getting the script to shut up if everything else fails.

I cannot find anything from KDE4/5 in my system. It could be that there are some configuration files (or what-not) lying round, since I used to run KDE3, then adapted my preferences to TDE. But so far as I can tell, there is nothing of KDE anywhere, in either programs or dependencies.
As for the hacky and hackier tricks ... I'll see if they help. For now, this is just an annoying bug; it slows down my startup time with error messages, but that is about it. Everything else runs fine, as usual.
The only real bother is why something would overwrite my changes with KDE again. If that is not a security issue, then I suppose that I can live with the bug.
Thanks for everybody's observations and suggestions.

Late commer, sorry for any redundancies,pendantic remarks. Debian stable (10) + TDE 14.0.8 (stable) afaikt:
Not a fan of installing Trinity from live cd's of some one elses making. My canonical install distro ofchoice without Xinstalled (gui). Add TDE sources . No chance of mistakesby others, Yikes.
Purging everything re KDE, does not ouch the home directory. If you are like me my home directory lives on a separate hard drive through numerous installs of Trinity. Trinity changed all references from "K"to "T" long ago. I had some issues with kmail.
Retiring my work station, moved to a laptop, added a fresh user, clean home dir, TDE14.0.8 is the best yet.

So far, the netinstall Devuan CD works best for me, but it doesn't offer TDE as one of its default choices for desktop; only KDE, Mate, XFCE, LXDE, etc. Other options to install TDE from a CD or DVD have been found wanting: ExeGnuLinux, Q4OS and others have been tested, but in one way or another they all misbehave or fall short of my expectations.
My Christmas wish for this year is the same as last year (if Santa reads the mailing list); which is a Devuan netinstall CD with TDE offered as a default choice.
There are ways TDE could be installed using the netinstall CD, but it would require my adding the sources.list manually, from the command-line; or, I could specify the location of my own TDE packages, but my present setup would make that option too cumbersome. So for now, I install using Mate, and install TDE (as well as Open Office) from within Mate, which is the least irksome of other DEs.
In any case, I can put up with a few minor bugs or issues, as I could never have kept patience with using another desktop. And if I had to keep using the newer KDE Plasma krap, I would probably have given up on using computers altogether, and instead I would now be living in a cave somewhere up in the mountains.

Hi Bill, what version of TDE are you using? If you are using a version before R14.0.8, that fix to change to tde-* would probably not work fine and wouldn't be surprised you get kde-* entries back in the file when you edit the TDE menu.

So, I have a new detail to report. I rebooted my system, but before I did, I checked those files:
/home/<USER>/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit /var/tmp/tdecache-<USER>/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt
And everything seemed correct (that is, there were no kde items). In the first file, the menu list, tde was in the <include> category, and kde was among the <exclude> items. When I rebooted, I checked again, and everything had been changed back to kde in the second file (r14-xdg), and I got those same 3 error messages again.
I did, however, find a separate menu for both gnome and kde.
Earlier (before a previous reboot) I had tried removing a kde menu, and the system rebooted about the same as usual, but when I got up and running, my konqueror and kedit were both all messed up. (* I set them to start up when the system boots, because I use them both to organize my work; but this is too complicated to explain. Enough to say, I have been doing it like this since early KDE3 days, about 2006 or so, and it has always worked great, and I don't want to change....)
Out of these known factors, I would suppose that something overwrites this file with kde krap between shutdown and boot, but I don't have a clue how to go about searching for the culprit. All KDE and Gnome stuff have been removed; everything is TDE, except for a few pan-Linux applications, but these do not bring in any KDE or Gnome dependencies, and should not affect the desktop; or so I like to think.
Any further observations or suggestions, how I my track down the cause of these changes? Thanks for any help!

Hi L., yes problems with test 9 are sort of expected, as we wrote in the release notes as well. Thanks for getting in touch.
Check the following file "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" and check the contents of the "~/.local/share/applications" folder. I think it is possible/likely you have both "kde-*.desktop" and "tde-*.desktop" files for the ones listed in your email. For example 'kde-kbiff.desktop' and 'tde-kbiff.desktop'.
To fix this problem you can rename kde-* files to tde-* files and edit "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" so to rename or remove any reference like "<Filename>kde-*.desktop</Filename>".
Depending on your edit history and system setup, the same file could be names in many different sections, mostly "includes" and "excludes" ones, so you need to be sure to see where the file is required.
The starting scripts automatically does the rename in case it is safe to do so, otherwise it fails and requires user intervention to avoid messing things up, as in your case.
Let us know how it goes and if you need more support.
Hi, I just did 'zypper dup -r trinity-noarch -r trinity-x86_64' on my OpenSuSE system, and this is happening to me now, too. I have a few more questions about doing this cleanup:
Should I presume that entries in the <Exclude> sections do not have to be adjusted?
Should the kde-*.desktop entries be renamed or removed from the <layout>...<merge type=* /> sections as well?
Does the conversion routine look through all subdirectories of my /home/<user> directory for menu files, and process files other than applications-tdemenuedit.menu? If so, ought I to remove various legacy and backup files?. Also, I have some subdirectories with backups of various configuration files from other user accounts; will it scan these as well and fail, even though they're not used by my account? Here's the tree of these files:
$ tree -fia|grep menuedit ./.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu ./.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu ./.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu.backup ./Documents/mail/older/share/config/kmenueditrc ./.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc ./rootHome/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu ./rootHome/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu ./rootHome/.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc ./rootHome/.trinity/share/apps/RecentDocuments/applications-tdemenuedit.menu.desktop ./rootHome/.trinity/share/config/kmenueditrc ./tdemenuedit.txt ./.trinity/share/apps/kmenuedit ./.trinity/share/apps/kmenuedit/kmenueditui.rc ./.trinity/share/config/kmenueditrc

Hi Leslie, see comments below.
Should I presume that entries in the <Exclude> sections do not have to be adjusted?
Items in <Exclude> are usually items that have been manually edited and/or moved to different submenu groups. Whether you need to remove them or not depends on your menu, I can't tell you exactly. In any case, test9 will consider those lines too.
Should the kde-*.desktop entries be renamed or removed from the <layout>...<merge type=* /> sections as well?
Same answer here, depends on your file. but again any kde-* entry will be considered.
Does the conversion routine look through all subdirectories of my /home/<user> directory for menu files, and process files other than applications-tdemenuedit.menu? If so, ought I to remove various legacy and backup files?. Also, I have some subdirectories with backups of various configuration files from other user accounts; will it scan these as well and fail, even though they're not used by my account
Rename routine and test9 is specific for this file "$USER_DIR/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu". It will not look into subdirs and backup files.
Hope this help.
Cheers Michele

Hi L., yes problems with test 9 are sort of expected, as we wrote in the release notes as well. Thanks for getting in touch. Check the following file "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" and check the contents of the folder. I think it is possible/likely you have both "kde-*.desktop" and "tde-*.desktop" files for the ones listed in your email. For example 'kde-kbiff.desktop' and 'tde-kbiff.desktop'. To fix this problem you can rename kde-* files to tde-* files and edit "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" so to rename or remove any reference like "<Filename>kde-*.desktop</Filename>". Depending on your edit history and system setup, the same file could be names in many different sections, mostly "includes" and "excludes" ones, so you need to be sure to see where the file is required.
The starting scripts automatically does the rename in case it is safe to do so, otherwise it fails and requires user intervention to avoid messing things up, as in your case.
Let us know how it goes and if you need more support.
Cheers Michele
Michele,
thanks for the tip; your instructions were clear and helpful. Here is my feedback as it may also be helpful to others with the same problem..
There was nothing odd (no kde* files) in the "~/.local/share /applications" folder
I searched with kwrite in the "~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" file for "kde" and substituted "tde" in all "desktop" hits, i.e., the files named in the r14 script output noted earlier. Some occurred more than once as I had copies in various submenus. Saved the file, rebooted, there was one notice of a check, rebooted, DONE! Everything seems to work fine now, including the apps where the "tde" substitution was carried out.
My installation is over 5 years old and has been through a number of upgrades so it is not surprising that there is some cruft in the setup. However, it has always worked well. Long live TDE!
Sincerely,
L. McCarty

Hi Stefan
automatic file renaming has been added to the script if there is no collision. If there is a collision, manual intervention from the user is required, as Michele mentioned in a previous email.
Cheers

Hi Stefan
Dear Slávek,
first of all thank you (and all the other devs, of course, as well) very much for your invaluable work and contributions to maintain TDE! Much appreciated!

Yes, thanks for the hint. This was also the result of the other r14-xdg-update thread and the reason I referred to it.
Kind regards, Stefan

Thanks for this hint, this solves my profile update problem. Now tde-startup is free of error messages and fast again.
