Also you need to search for the right thing... michael@local [~]# which dcop /opt/trinity/bin/dcop michael@local [~]# dpkg -S /opt/trinity/bin/kdcop tdebase-trinity-bin: /opt/trinity/bin/kdcop michael@local [~]# apt-cache search tdebase-trinity-bin tdebase-trinity-bin - core binaries for the TDE base module
dcop seems correctly installed.
# ps aux|grep dcop andre 974 0.0 0.1 52680 10248 ? S 17:28 0:00 dcopserver [tdeinit] --nosid --suicide : Why this strange process "--suicide" ?
# kill -9 974 the session is stopped and restarted, with the same processus "--suicide" .
The --suicide option appears to be normal:
ryu ~ # ps -ef | grep dcop eliddell 3391 1 0 2022 ? 00:00:03 dcopserver [tdeinit] --nosid --suicide
Apparently I didn't install the manpage, but https://manpages.org/dcopserver says:
--suicide : Tell dcopserver to automatically terminate if no transactions are made within 10 seconds.
So it's unlikely that that is the source of your issue.
A web search on the text of your full error suggests that the problem is with (t)qt session management. Most straightforward remedy suggested is to issue this at the command line:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
You may also (judging from other hits) have a broken dbus, iceauth, or some other messaging or auth problem.
