rohitsz Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Greetings there, While i was installing mandriva le 2006 on couple of systems, i faced a strange problem on a system where after the first login, both KDE and GNOME reported a crash so it took me back to the login screen,where again i was greeted with the same error! So i logged in with IceWM and atleast i got thru to the desktop. From there i tried to uninstall KDE and GNOME, but due to some dependencies,it removed the iceWM too. So when i rebooted, i was taken to the console to login, so i tried "startx", it returned with an error again. i did urpmi icewm-light and urpmi kdebase, but i still could not get a GUI mode on mandriva... what could be the problem!? thanks, rohit.

coverup Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 If it's a new system, I would reinstall it again... When you login for the first time, Mandrake/Mandriva runs some program to greet you. And then it crashes (at least I have seen that several times). If you politely click "Do not show me this window again", it will never bother you again and KDE won't crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 The other crashing problem I found was their nice orange update icon in the system tray, so I just remove this from starting at boot also. Although never experienced this past LE2005, 2006 was OK with it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
