[SOLVED] "Welcome" executable not found

When logging in, after the window TRINITY DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT I have the following message which I can’t get rid of :

Sorry Kdesktop
TDEInit cannot launch « welcome »
could not find « welcome » executable

I think it appeared after I made some change about the « welcome » screen   but don’t remember what exactly and the "welcome" screen does no longer appears.
Thanks for your suggestions

Re: [SOLVED] "Welcome" executable not found

Check first that the executable still exists:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/welcome*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122288  3 sep 21:38 /usr/bin/welcome-screen5.exu

If it does not exist, I suppose you uninstalled the package or deleted the file. In this case, try to install it again with this command:

$ sudo apt install q4os-welcome5

Else, maybe you modified some configuration file. But since I don't use TDE, I can't advise you.

.... welcome-screen.exu    exists, but the "welcome screen " still does not open at start up, part of the configuration must have been broken I will have to live with that.
Thanks anyway for helping

Re: [SOLVED] "Welcome" executable not found

Try to copy "/usr/share/applications/q4os-welcome-screen.desktop" to "/home/userq4/.configtde/autostart/q4os-welcome-screen.desktop"
Terminal command:
$ cp /usr/share/applications/q4os-welcome-screen.desktop $HOME/.configtde/autostart/q4os-welcome-screen.desktop

Re: [SOLVED] "Welcome" executable not found

Applying the command line you suggested made the    Welcome Menu to be displayed again  at startup, but the error message remained (  TDEInit cannot launch "Welcome"  ) ; to suppress it  I deleted Welcome   in   Application/Programs/ Automatic startup . Now everything is clean.
Thank you all for your contribution
