michael@local [~]# dpkg -S /opt/trinity/bin/tdesu
tdebase-trinity-bin: /opt/trinity/bin/tdesu

Do you have tdebase-trinity-bin installed?

I know tdesu is one of the more important programs, a TDE dev will have to 
help beyond that.

Another option:

Disk space is cheap?  Install everything with trinity in the package name?

michael@local [~]# axi-cache search trinity

michael@local [~]# aptitude search '~n trinity'

Make a rule in gufw that you know you had in Firestarter, save it, and use 
that to grep with to find the Firestarter list???

Did some digging, it seems if you have an copy of a system where you had 
Firestarter running you can just grab its iptables.  (And probably import, or 
copy/paste?, that into gufw.)

Otherwise see if you can find an old copy of the 'Mepis Wiki: Firestarter'

Both Firestarter and gufw/ufw are simply GUI front-ends for IP Tables. My 
understanding of IP Tables is limited. But it's simply a configuration file 
telling which ports to allow/disallow

    4.5.1 Firewall

    Firestarter. A personal firewall configuration utility that makes it 
easier for the user to configure the firewall.
    Mepis Wiki: Firestarter
    Firestarter tutorial

According to the description in synaptic firestarter is no longer maintained 
and users should switch to gufw.

You can do that in gufw:

active connections > Report tab
rules > Rules tab
change logging level > Edit, Preferences

kmyfirewall-trinity - iptables based firewall configuration tool for TDE 
[Trinity]

Saw that in the output from aptitude search above, probably easier ways to 
find trinity firewall packages though...

Best,
Michael
