mandriva doesn't boot straigth to kde
Hello,
I am an absolute newbie to Linux. Nevertheless I was somehow successful installing mandriva-linux-2005 on my Dell Inspiron 8100. Yesterday, I de-installed the instant messenger, and installed skype. When I tried to switch on the computer it won't go straight to kde (as it did before, before I un/installed things); it asks me for my local host login and my password. After that this message is being displayed after I typed in startkde: xsetroot: unable to open display'' /home/anhie/ .kde/env/start-gpg-agent.sh: line 5: /home/anhie/ .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf: No such file or directory xset: unable to open display xsetroot: unable to open display smodmap: unable to open display startkde: Starting up... ksplash: cannot connect to x server kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set. Warning: connect () failed: : No such file or directory (gnome-volume-manager:6559): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display ksmserver: cannot connect to x server startkde: shutting down... warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory Error: Can't contact kdeinit! startkde: Running shutdown scripts... Stop ssh-agent SSH_AGENT_PID not set, cannot kill agent Finish stop ssh-agent startkde: Done. Can someone please help me to sort this out? Thank you very much in advance Anhie a.k.a. Leela77 |
Try "startx" instead of startkde. The error you are getting is because you are trying to startkde without the Xserver being initialized :)
Good luck! |
I have tried it as well...first of all: Thank you for the quick reply.
Now when I type in startx This message pops up: X Window System Version 6.8.2 (...) Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Thank you |
You've posted this in the Mandriva forum too. Try my answer there and see if that works: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=368955

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
