Something in FACL setting(s) has apparently blocked creation of ~/.trinity, and you're lucky TDE works as well as it does by reading ~/.kde, which it only should do until it has been migrated to ~/.trinity. [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45160961/file-directory-permissions-trailing-drwxr-xr-x man acl Other than what I just typed or pasted, I don't have familiarity with FACLs. If you don't want to mess with trying to get a handle on FACL ATM, try creating it as root and changing owner and group to leslie.users, and if apparently successful, logging into a TDE session. When working with ordinary permissions issues, I find it immensely easy to have them fully on display via mc in long file list mode, which causes the screen to be constantly refreshed with what resembles output from ls -al. I really can't accomplish much if mc isn't installed. Generally I have 2-3 mc sessions open when running any GUI, and one or more if working only on the vttys. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
