I have a problem starting kde. When I reboot my unit everything goes fine until it tries to start kde then the screen blinks three times and returns to the command line. I then log in and type startx the xscreen comes up and has a error box with Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. Click OK and return to command line. Then type kde and the following comes up: ksplash: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file or directory. No such file or directory. kdeinit: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file or directory: No such file or directory. startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. //opt/kde3/bin/kdeinternet: error loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file or directory. No such file or directory. Warning: connect ( ) failed: : No such file or directory. ksmserver: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file or directory. No such file or directory. startkde: Shutting down... Warning: connect ( ) failed: : No such file or directory. Error: Can't contact kdeinit! startkde: Running shutdown scripts... kde-config: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file or directory. No such file or directory. startkde: Done It then return to bash prompt How do I go about getting kde back up and running. I want to get back to linux and off of windoze. TIA David

I'm betting you just upgraded Xfree86 4.3.0 recently didn't you? I've run into this a couple of times in the last 4 days, I ended up re-installing the whole Xfree86 bundle of crap again 1) cd the directory where all your downloaded Xfree86 rpm's are 2) rpm --nodeps --force -Uvh *.rpm (assuming you don't have alot of other rpm's in this directory) 3) Follow the readme directions from the download site if you need to add 3d support 4) delete any file named "fonts.cache-1" or "fonts.cache-1.gz" that is in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/... or one of its sub directories. 5) do the same thing for /usr/share/fonts/... if you need to I used mc to help me with this although there are ways to do it from the command line. 6) Run /sbin/SuSEconfig Thats how I did it. good luck -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Dear David, My problem is similar to your's, last month I posted it here on the list.(see KDE on SuSe 8.0 Pro) And I still have no solution for it, so i can't help you with this. This is my error message: startkde xsetroot: unable to open display ' ' xset: unable to open display "" xset: unable to open display "" xset: unable to open display "" ksplash: error while loading shared libraries: libart_lgpl_2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. kdeinit: error whi!le loading shared libraries: libart_lgpl_2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. startkde: Could not open display: Warning: connect ( ) failed: No such file or directory. ksmserver: error while loading shared libraries: libart_lgpl_2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. startkde: Shutting down ...

Error: Can't contact kdeinit ! //opt/kde3//bin/kinternet: error while loading shared libraries: libart_lgpl_2.so.2: cannot open object file: No such file or directory. startkde: Running shutdown scripts ... startkde: Done. This is with KDE 3.1 on SuSe Linux 8.1 pro. Greetings, Walter
