Error when booting...

Hi, this is what I get when I type startx/statkde

Code:

(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xd8000000,0x80000000)
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/CID, removing from list!

It's probably not in your path ...
try to use the fully qualified path.

locate startkde

I did nothing.

I took a break from Linux and booted into Windows to do some work. After I was done, rebooted my system to give Linux another hack, and voila! That's poi-fect.

Explanation please?

You screwed up the PATH variable in the last
session? :)

how?

I didn't modify anything. To narrow down my story, I simply rebooted my computer and it worked?

Well, all it takes is a typo ...

One could try to set a path temporarily and
do
export PATH=PATH:~/bin
instead of
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

And all your commands are gone (for this
one session/terminal). A reboot will fix that.
As will logging out and back in.

Cheers,
