I just installed TDE R14.0.0 on top of a Xubuntu 14.04 install, going
through Synaptic. Everything went very smooth, it was done in just a few
minutes and the pc restarted and logged in using the same password I had
for Xubuntu, since TDE did not ask me to set a password. I just assumed
that is what I needed to use. Everything was going good, I was just going
through the Control Center exploring trying to get familiar with the
settings, until I came across one, (I don't remember now which one), but it
needed a password before I could open it to make changes. I put in the same
password I had just used, but got an error message saying that wasn't the
right password.
Just to be sure I knew what I was doing, I rebooted and logged back in the
second time with the Xubuntu password. However I could not get that
password to work for anything other than logging in. I even tried to reset
my password using that one, but again it said incorrect password. So I did
some research on the internet, and found instructions on how to reset a
users password, by booting into advanced options and going to the recovery
settings, opening a command line, and typing in "password <usenamer>", so
I
did that and set up another password I would remember easily. Rebooted, got
back to log-in screen, put the new password in, and an error msg popped up,
something about not being the right password. Then gave me an error about
"DCOP server error no read access to $home unable to start". I restarted
tried the old password, and the new password both about three times, while
searching the internet on another pc, trying to troubleshoot and find the
problem, I didn't find very much and what I did find, didn't work;
I tried going back into advanced start options and change password back, it
failed, saying that it wasn't secure enough. I completely understand the
need to keep things and people safe, and not everybody needs access to
certain parts of the OS, however I feel that if I don't want a password, I
should not be forced to use one. The whole point of Linux is to use what
you like, and not be forced to do what someone you've never me thinks you
should do. I could use a different D/E, that wouldn't require a password
for anything but the terminal, but then it wouldn't be TDE. I used TDE for
about 3 weeks a long time ago, then Ubuntu upgraded and TDE was no longer
supported, because a different file system or something was used, and when
I emailed the support people, I was told it probably wouldn't be upgraded,
At least that what the email I got said. So I have just been checking in
periodically to see if it ever came back up, and was very happy to see it
had. .
I really like TDE, so I am hoping I can find an easy fix for this. I
installed it last night just before gong to bed, so it's been installed
less than 12 hours right now, it wouldn't be a big deal to reinstall from
here. Other than being annoying and aggregating. Has anyone seen this
error, and know how to correct it? I searched google for a while before
writing in, and could not find anything that actually works for me. I
generally avoid this kind of issue since it's very easy to bork a system,
if your not careful.
Thank You

Where TDE Control Center asks for a password, it needs the root password,
not the user's password. At least, I've never seen it ask for the user's
password.
It sounds like you may now have your user password munged up. Can't help
you with that, except to suggest you try resetting it from a root shell
using passwd.

It might help those who are steeped in Ubuntu, if the Control Center asked for
a root password, and not for an administrator password. It would make it
more obvious what was wanted and what was the problem.

Thank you, I'll go through that link carefully. However due to a problem
not related to the OS, I ended up having to reinstall. Which fixed most of
the problem, however there are still a few bugs that pop up occassionally
when it comes to putting in a password. It either ask for a password when
it shoudln't, or tells me my password is wrong three or four times before
accepting it. I went with the Ubuntu 14.10 base, I may go back to the 14.04
base and see if that fixes it. I just haven't decided yet.

I also suspect the same thing. If your user is a "normal user", changing
some system settings requires root privileges. Some of the options in
Control Center are like that, so when you are asked for a password it
should say something like "insert root password". You need to provide the
root's password, not your user's password.

I had this problem on Linux Mint. TDE Control Center asks for the
administrator password, which is of course the root password. Ubuntu type
distros don't have a root password. Here is the solution I found: (It
