Per Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) I can't start KDE with my normal user. I'm currently running IceWM and the only KDE applications I can run is those that don't access the internet. I can for example run kmail, but I can't enter my password (it doesn't react to the keyboard). I can't run kontact at all. The problem persists even if I rename the ~/.kde directory. If I run as root I can start KDE normally. I didn't test it too much as root as I don't feel too comfortable running X as root. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. Attached is a .xsession-errors file from an attempt to start KDE. xsession_errors.txt Edited July 1, 2006 by Per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately no change. I found that an xmessage process is running trying to display this message: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. It's at lines 337 and 338 of /usr/bin/startkde. It even tries to write this to standard out, but I've not seen this message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Per Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I'm not sure what I did to fix the problem, but now it's working again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
