Ok got a bit of a problem with KDE 3.2

yesterday i installed Mandrake 10 with KDE 3.2 evrything went flawless. But got a error when shutting down so i neened to cut the power.

Today i try to boot again but my kde won't go furter then the spash screen it's stuck at 45 % somthimes at 85 % loading! so when i wait 2 min then i just see the spash screen disapear and i can only see a blue background and my cursor nothing else!

I allready reformated & installed Mandrake and KDE 3.2 again but no use the problem won't go away! so if anyone can help me!

grtz & thx in advance

anybody?

Did you try another window manager?

yes, Gnome works good but i don't like to work with Gnome so i realy want KDE to run to!

You might have to reinstall kde,good luck david
also,did you try to log in as root and see if kde would load?

Well even reformatted hd couple of times but the problem won't go away. And how can i login as root at the user select screen i can't select root as login!

Why not?

i don't know that the problem
and i find it verry weird that the problem isn't fixed after the hd format... and it worked before so i'm sure KDE is compatible with my hardware

hi

just to let you know that I have exactly the same problem, ie, the splash screen hangs for ages at somewhere between 40-80%, after which I'm faced with a blank blue screen and a mouse pointer.

These are the things I have tried to date:
1. deleting /home/username/.kde
2. creating a new test user
3. upgrading from mandrake 10 community to mandrake 10 official.

these things have not worked.

After reading the replies that you received, I tried logging on as root and that is fine, except, of course that everything is red and I don't want to be logged on as root..

If you, or anyone else out there, finds a solution, please let me know because I would much rather use kde than gnome
