help with kde
I don't know what happened but I suddenly can't start my kde session.... Last thing I did was mess around with my ppp connection that's why I'm baffled that kde won't start now :(
This is what happens... splash screen shows up.... takes a long while in the part where it says initializing system services... then nothing happens.... the splash screen disappears without the other stages (loading session etc) being run.... then just a blank grey screen.... :( I want my kde back so please help |
Can you switch to a virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F1)? If so, does it display any error messages?
What kernel, distro, and X version are we looking at? Are you able to load other WM's (Gnome, Floxbox, Enlightenment, etc...)? |
I use libranet 2.8.1 running KDE 3.3...
I have 2.4.26 kernel.. I don't know what x version i have.. sorry yes I was able to log into virtual console... and I was able to log into gnome with the same user. my .xsession-errors file contain the following: /etc/gdm/PreSession//Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp /etc/gdm/PreSession//Default: running: sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l :0 pablo startkde: Starting up... QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used kbuildsycoca running... I don't know if it helps but... after a while.... the KDE start up sound plays, but screen is still blank |
Ok - cd to /etc/X11
there should be a file called XFree86.0.log or Xorg.0.log - it's for XF86 and Xorg respectively. type this: Code:
cat FILENAME | grep EE |
hello.... I didn't have the files you mentioned :(
Here are the contents of /etc/X11 WindowMaker X XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.old XftConfig Xloadimage Xresources Xsession Xsession.d Xsession.options Xwrapper.config app-defaults default-display-manager fluxbox fonts fvwm gdm icewm imwheel openbox qvwm rgb.txt rstart rxvt.menu sawfish serverconfig starthere sysconfig xfce xinit xkb xserver xsm xview also, I tried booting in my 2.6 kernel and I was able to go into KDE. But my 2.6 build is very bad so I want to fix my 2.4 |
