When I start kde a small box appears in top left corner saying cannot start kdeinit. What is the problem.
This question was answered by Richard Bos just last Monday on this very list, the original answer follows...
Change this in /opt/kde3/bin/startkde
pilchard:/mnt/8.1/opt/kde3/bin # diff -upb startkde.org startkde --- startkde.org 2003-10-01 21:24:18.000000000 +0200 +++ startkde 2003-10-02 21:27:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -289,14 +289,24 @@ fi # the splashscreen and progress indicator ksplash

instead of starting kcminit knotify with kdeinit you do it without.
I found his answer a bit confusing (I'm not a programmer or script writer)
In essence first make a backup of /opt/kde3/bin/startkde second as root open /opt/kde3/bin/startkde with your favorite text editor
comment out the following line LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify then add the next 2 commands kcminit knotify
here's what it looks like in my /opt/kde3/bin/startkde starting around line 292
# We set LD_BIND_NOW to increase the efficiency of kdeinit. # kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications. #####LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify kcminit knotify
hope that helps

David; This is what my /opt/kde3/bin/statkde loks like:
# We set LD_BIND_NOW to increase the efficiency of kdeinit. # kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications. LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify if test $? -ne 0; then # Startup error echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.' 1>&2 xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." fi
Should I go ahead with the changes or not. The sitution occured with the update of kde.
