Had a Devil of a problem with my 6.4 box this weekend upgrading to
KDE2.1.1.with exactly the same problem as you. Eventually solved it by
manually uninstalling all kde2.x packages and reinstalling 2.1.1 from
stratch. Took ages but it worked.

Subject: [SLE] Problems with KDE 2.1.1 upgrade on SuSE
I get an error message when trying to start up KDE after upgrading to
2.1.1. I'm running SuSE 7.1 and was wondering if anyone else has
experienced this.
Installing the RPMs goes fine. Then I reboot hoping to load the new KDE but
instead the GUI starts to load then I get dropped into a text logon prompt.
If I type "startx" I get the following message box:
"error setting up inter-process communication for KDE.
could not read network connection list.
/root/.DCOPserver_[host name]_:0
check that dcopserver is running!"
If I go back to the text shell and try starting dcopserver by typing
"dcopserver" it says "$DISPLAY not set".
I have tried the bug database at kde.org but all I have found are people
with the same problem who seem to fix it on their own and there are no
solutions listed.
Any other SuSe users have this problem?
Thanks,
