 I have never heard of Mageia - was it working in the older 5 version?
 if it is based on RH (as you mentioned URPMI) perhaps some of the people
 using such systems may help.

 In my opinion it could be anything that causes your trouble. Most of all the
 TDE team provides integration into couple of distributions. Using not such
 a distribution very likely leads to such situations.
 You could try providing such integration for Mageia.

 From what you are describing it looks like the
installation of the packages  did not work well - but I don't know how URPMI
works.

 Let us know which repo and TDE version you used.

One line history lesson: Mageia was founded by the Mandriva (formerly
Mandrake) people who were booted out after the company was taken over by
a Russian investor.

Yes, it was working on Magiea 5 and every previous version. Trinity
works with Mageia 6 on my laptop, but not my desktop PC, so the basic
disto integration is OK, except for the missing symlink (easily
solved...). The packages were installed using the official Trinity
repository for Mageia, described here:

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Mageia_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst…

This contains R14.0.4.

I unofficially maintained the Trinity Mandriva packages for a while back
in the "early days", but then official packages were put out (which were
better than mine), so I stopped.

I'm hoping that somebody here can guide me so that I can get a proper
crash message out of the startup procedure which might give me a clue as
to why this is failing, I've never previously had a case where Trinity
crashed one system, but another. There may still be some stray library
somewhere that hasn't upgraded, it might be my NFS set up, or it might
be in some way hardware dependent. I just can't tell because the
backtrace only stays on screen for about a second.

I've got a media centre system which is also on Mageia 6, but I never
bothered to install Trinity on there, so I might give it a go as a next
step to see if it works or not in lieu of suggestions here.
