KDE wont Load
Hello,
I am new to linux. I have a Toshiba Satellite P35-S605 running dual-boot winXP and Suse. I had Mandrake installed previously and it worked great. I now want to put suse on my computer. The installation goes great but when I try to load suse from Grub I get a black screen. I can load into safemode just fine. I can run sax2 just fine but kde wont run. When I try tunning KDE by just typing "KDE" and I get: cp: cannot stat '/opt/kde3/share/config/SuSE/default//artsmessagerc': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat '/opt.....//kcmartsrc': No suck file or directory cp: cannot stat '/opt.....//kdewizardrc': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat '/opt.....//kpersonalizerrc': No such file or directory xset: unable to open display "" xsetroot: unable to open display ' ' startkde: Starting up... kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set. Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory ksmserver: cannot connect to X server ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! startkde: Shutting down... Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory Error: Can't contact kdeinit! starting artsd! kcminit: cannot connect to X server startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. I thought maybe video drivers even though sax2 runs fine so I put them on cd from WinXP and when I try to issue command "mount /dev/cdrom" I get no reply back so I guess it mounted find but when I go into the mnt directory there is nothing listed so I guess its not mounting? I just read a post at linuxquestions.org of somone having a similar issue. The solution way to type startx. Well that worked but I want to be able to log into kde when I choose Suse 10 from the grub menu. How do I do this? It still boots to a blank screen unless I boot into failsafe and run startx from there. Any Ideas for any of this? Thank you. |
OK, so you found the solution to your first problem (using 'startx' instead of 'kde'). Now you would like to run this automatically after boot?
Edit /etc/initab: Code:
# The default runlevel is defined here EDIT: After reading your post the second time, I realised that you probably have runlevel 5 configured already. Do you really end at a black screen? Maybe if you wait the KDE login screen comes up? Check /bood/grub/menu.lst for a suitable vga= setting. Maybe the resolution is set wrong for the framebuffer device. Code:
| 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 |
