KDE on Slackware 13.1 goes blank!

Swift&Smart · 08-21-2010, 12:53 AM

Hello,everyone.

I have my server upgraded to Slackware 13.1 last month and would like to use remote desktop using realvnc.However,when I connect to the server via realvnc,I can connect to the server but KDE appears to be black!The mouse is moving as I move around,but everything is black.

Do you guys have similar experience? If you have,please give me some suggestions on how to make my KDE desktop appears normally.

Thanks a million.

SalmonEater,thanks for your reply.

In the mean time, I have switched to xfce and just love it.

I did experience the same problem with tightvnc (from /extra repo). I managed to get rid of the problem after many (frantic) attempts and I am not too sure how I did it, but it might be that the client and server must not both run KDE. I hope it helps.
