I recently upgraded to KDE 3.4. After I rebooted my machine, I get the message "unable to start kstartupconfig. Check your installation.". I am running SuSE 9.2.
Any ideas how to fix this? If you are suggesting a reinstall, please let me know how I can do this from safe mode.
Another question, any idea when 9.3 will be available for FTP install?
I had the same problem after installing KDE 3.4 on SuSE 9.1. I solved the problem by choosing another session type from the "Menu" (WindowMaker, I think.) It also failed, but I was able to choose an "alternate window manager" or something like that. I did so and was able to get a shell. (You may be able to get a shell by choosing Fail Safe---I didn't get to that point.) I noticed that I had some ownership problems in my home directory. I guess some of the users/groups got screwed up during the upgrade. Anyway, I used: chmod -R hhlost:users /home/hhlost and all was fixed.
this thread has continued in antoher thread, and which has some replies that followed the one on here by hhlost, and then I have replied with my experiences.
this thread is continued here:
