Check permissions and ownership on files inside .trinity/share/config , particularly kdeglobals . They should be owner = your user, group = your user, permissions = -rw------- (or -rw-r--r--) for all the normal files. > > Root works very well.

If you're really desperate, Gentoo will allow you to set up a Pi with whatever username you want (actually, whatever everything you want, within the limitations of running on a rather slow ARM SOC). I just set up a minimal install on a Pi3 so that I could use it as a NAS (in conjunction with the hard drive scavenged from my old, deceased NAS), and the only non-root user on the system is not named pi. The catch, of course, is the need to set up distcc/cross-compiling/arm emulation on a more powerful machine if you don't want to wait forever whenever you install something. E.
