Basically, I couldn't reconfigure, reinstall, purge and reinstall tdm, reconfigure and use LightDM, purge and use LightDM, I couldn't do anyhting without getting an error message about PID 0. As in this (left hand edge is missing): ------------------------------------------------ # aptitude reinstall tdm-trinity up tdm-trinity 94:14.0.1~pre21-0debian8.0.0.2~a)... top-daemon:pid value must be a number greater than 0 start-stop-daemon --help for more information ---------------------------------------------- And I couldn't - and this is totally mad - purge LXDE to the point where it wouldn't be brought up in as an emergency offering. I could find no way of getting back to TDE, and I kept getting this wretched message about PID 0. I thought that if I purged LXDE it would have to give me TDE - or only the CLI. But it went on booting into LXDE. :-( Here is the beginning of the thread on this list. https://lists.debian.org/201503301125.57809.lisi.re...@gmail.com I didn't try Darac's suggestion, because it had been going on for a long time by then, and I could barely see what I was doing. So I'm afraid that that was the point at which I chickened out and reinstalled. Here are two of teh threads on the Trinity DE list: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::8090 http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::8232 I have now, of course, reinstalled. Though it would be nice to think that I don't have to reinstall next time I make a mistake. ;-) I have made this mistake a number of times over the years. It has never before been a problem to sort out. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
