y just upgrade to kde 3.1 i think is the last one, and i was working really good for like couple days but to be honest i do not know what a i did but wen i restart my computer i can not log on kde
, start mandrake everything looks perfect but instead of start kde starts with black screen it say;s mandrake version kernel version
an ask for r my name and password y typed but still there , one of my friends told me to use starx command but did not work what should i do


i really like mandrake y just been workin with it for like two weeks so i don't know what to do thanks everybodi

It seems as though when you upgraded KDE it changed your runlevel. Take a peek into you /etc/inittabl file and make sure it says:

id:5:initdefault:

id:3:initdefault:

If it says 3 instead of 5 change it to five and type:

init 5

By the way it is startx not starx.

When you get to the text only command line, go ahead and put in your user name and password. Then, type

startx

NOT starx. This should get you into KDE or whatever your default X session loads up.

Thanks i'm going to try what you toldme by th way i,m not a pro on linux but i'm tryng hard

Do or do not , there is no try.

No seriously, its probably something very simple.
