I'll see if a similar procedure will fix it later today when I can get to its own keyboard. There from an ssh -Y login, dpkg-reconfigure tdm.trinity, reports that tdm.trinity is not installed. So I callup synaptic and re-install tdm.trinity, but still get the message that its not installed:(paste from that ssh login) 14.0.7 on 2 machines, 2 machines failed. gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc/configs/GO704-5i25-7i76$ gksudo synaptic gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc/configs/GO704-5i25-7i76$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm.trinity [sudo] password for gene: dpkg-query: package 'tdm.trinity' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: tdm.trinity is not installed Looks like that package needs help. That machine is still running wheezy FWIW. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
