Hi all, After installing Linux for the 1st timeon my 2 servers in June, I recently decided to experiment with SuSe 6.4 on my laptop ( Compaq Armada E500)just to get more familiar with Linux :-)Originally I chose the Default install and then added the rest of the packages with the 'Almost Everything' option . When I first logged onto my non-root account and ran startx ... I saw a messaging asking for confirmation to upgrade KDE ..I accepted it ..but ever since, have been unable to use KDE ...The desktop appears briefly and then disappears ! The 'root' KDE is working fine ... I checked the /var/log/messages : The only line that could refer to this said : linux kernel : apm : set display : Interface not engaged In /home/anurag ..there's a file called .X.err , the which has entries like Creating Floppy icons .. Creating CD-ROM icons .. .. .. .. Starting kpanel ... Done Max Entries = 30 Starting Hotkeys..Done Waiting for X server to shut down What should i do get back my desktop ?
