Lost KDE multiple desktop problems now
HELP!! I primarily run KDE never even installed Gnome
but I installed Gnome Base and a few Gnome packages to run the Firestarter utility that is Gnome based. now when I type in STARTX the Gnome window manager starts, then things get ugly the background is that speckled gray and the error you are not running a Gnome complient window manager things run but very sluggish and almost unusable if I type in startkde these errors occur xsetroot unable to open display xsetroot unable to open display xsetroot unable to open display xsetroot unable to open display ksplash: cannot connect to X server aborting $DISPLAY is not set ksmserver: cannot connect to X server REDHAT 7.2 i want to run KDE how do I repair this |
look at
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and also you may have a file in your home folder or in /etc/X11/xinit that is causing a problem .Xclients or /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients |
Ok I Logged in as a different user and the same problem occured so that must mean its not the home directory. its almost like the 2 desktops are tring to merge or somthing but Im looking at the Xclients now with pico I
see references to gnome but then again I'm not sure what to do from there |
what is in /etc/sysconfig/desktop
|
it may be hosed, you should be able to fix it using the rpms if all else fails
you could uninstall and reinstall kde |
Ok I went to etc/sysconfig/desktop
all it had was DESKTOP=" " so being adventerous I put DESKTOP="KDE" now it seems to work I'll give it a workout and if ya dont here from me then all is well. THANKS |
:D :cool: :Pengy:
