Can not log in to KDE, help!!!
 
I just installed SUSE 9.2 Pro, everything is working fine, then I go to YAST to update patch online, then reboot the box.
After that only root can log on to the KDE. If I log into KDE under my user id, the screen went dark for one or two second, then return back to the log-in screen again and again (look like X-server crash).

My video card is GeForce FX-5200 PCI. I have updated with latest Nvidia driver.
any idea?

Please help!

Delete your /home/you/.kde folder . It will delete all your desktop settings but it normally gets rid of any issues KDE has with an upgrade. Of course assuming part of KDE got upgraded?

That's a good idea! I will try that

I just found out exactly what the problem is by creating a new user and trace back all the steps that I did. what caused this problem is that when I first started Yahoo messenger, there is a check box asking to start yahoo messenger automatically (add an entry into the .xinitrc), I select that check box. When I log in, Xserver couldn't start yahoo messenger or something, and it crashed and send me back to the login screen.

I look at .Xinitrc is empty. How do I disable yahoo messenger starting automatically when first logging in?

kak 04-16-2005 08:39 AM
Check to see if you have an .xsession file in your home and/or check your .kde/Autostart/ folder
If I remember correctly Suse uses KDM as its login manager, and by defualt Kdm ignores .Xinitrc but looks for .xsession
KDE looks in .kde/Autostart/ for user specified programs to launch during startup
Hope that helps.

For anyone's future reference ... I also ended up with an empty .xinitrc in my home directory after trying out Yahoo! Messenger, which kept X from starting as that user. Several hours and multiple fistfuls of hair later, I removed the empty user .xinitrc and forced Xorg to use the defaults. That got me up and running again. Moral of the story: Stick to gaim.
