  First - is your install sysV or systemd? If systemd, then do you have
consolekit installed? If no, then TDE must be patched to work in a systemd
environment without console kit.

  The problem is user session/process tracking in TDE has not been updated to
work with systemd. If you have systemd+consolekit and launch tdm through the old
sysV init script, then everything will work through systemd compatibility mode.

  Without consolekit you have hit bug 1902. In that case, user mount of drives
and access to sound may not work. Further, any tdeio processes opened (e.g.
http/file/sftp) will not exit when the connection is closed and you will end up
with LOTs of tdeio_file, tdeio_http, tdeio_sftp processes running on your box.
However, there is a limit to the number of simultaneous processes that can be
opened, so you will not run into a memory exhaustion situation.

  See: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1902

This is a known issue and should be fixed shortly.
