Hi Janek,

Not exactly a clue, but it's generally not a good idea to turn off the 
configuration checking on login.  Take sip of your drink, get another cup of 
coffee, but let it do it's thing so your system works correctly...

Best,

PS:  The new(ish) TDE has a 'fixer' program that runs at login to do ??? (ask 
a dev).  It'll run each login until it's satisfied (mine ran 4 or 5 times 
doing an upgrade from stretch/R14.06 to buster/R14.08).
