Recently, when logging into my main ID on my new desktop system, I get several messages
about something called r14-xdg-update. The text of the first one is
The r14-xdg-update script has been run at least once.
The script is not successfully updating.
The script will run with each login until corrected.
Please contact an administrator or take appropriate administrative action to correct the
problem.
The error code is 9.
Searching the list archive, I found a few references to this script, but little useful
information about it aside from the information that error code 9 has something to do with
file privileges. There seems to be nothing in the documentation about this script, which
seems to perform some sort of updates to the Trinity configuration. From the effects that
it has had on my system, I would say that there needs to be something written up and
placed into the user doecumentation about this. So far it has wiped out my desktop
settings and recently it made all of my kmail (configuration, folders and contents)
disappear.
What do I need to do to fix this? I'm afraid to log into any of my secondary IDs for
fear that they will be corrupted as well. The vague description of error code 9 gives me
little to go on. What file privileges need to be set, for what files or directories?
What exactly is r14-xdg-update trying to do?
