What exactly are you doing and what exactly errors result? Its systemd. Any time that I use sysvinit on Debian every package wants to remove it so I didn't bother. In the tty, I run /opt/trinity/bin/starttde (since this script is not in PATH) which precisely results in the following: [starttde] Starting starttde.

I haven't disabled anything. In fact, "systemctl list-units" shows that the tdm.service is running. I didn't do anything finicky but choose not to install a desktop environment in the installer so I could get TDE, add the Trinity repos, install the stable builds along with pipewire and firmware that I need and this is how it was out of the box. > Maybe you just need to install tdm-trinity and reboot? I have tdm-trinity installed. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
