Hello all,
Debian 9 here. Today I updated things (I used synaptic - Mark all upgrades.
That was perhaps an error). Many things got updated, included Trinity stuff.
The problem is it also reverted the DM to gdm3. I changed it
to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, but the result is that the system does not start,
with
Failed to start Gnome Display Manager
See 'systemctl status gdm.service' for details
Is there a way to get TDM back?

Well, what does systemctl status gdm.service say?

I directly edited /etc/X11/default-display-manager.
That was the error (but I think it worked in pre-systemd time?)
I changed it
to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm
how did you change it? does it boot normally if you pass
init=/lib/sysvinit/init to the command
line (if you have sysvinit installed)?
no
can you boot to rescue or single user ?
no.
you're stuck at the error message (I did not try to log in another tty
because I have a secondary system so I used that to change the file back)
This morning I googled systemd change DM and got the answer: at least with
systemd you must use dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity.
Thanks,
Thierry

yes - this is the correct way to do it, so does it work now for you?
If yes, perhaps you can tag this topic as closed :)
