That was fun! Anyone else managed to create havoc with their KDE by updating to the latest KDE files? Seems the kdeinit would not start,
Um, yes. I just had this with 10.0 system using smart (and what ever repositories what were installed with smart :-)
After the upgrade with smart, I hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the X. It did not restart. (No, I have not actually rebooted the whole system... should I?) Writing startx on shell terminal starts and logs into KDE normally. But I do not get the graphical login.
Anyway, the quick fix for the problem was to create a link: ln -s /opt/kde/bin/kdeinit /opt/kde/bin/start_kdeinit
Hmmm. I do not have /opt/kde in my system. Just /opt/kde3 (BTW, on a separate not, when running shell in X, the fonts are wrong so that when I type ll (or ls -la) I can not see the last char of the dir names... it diesn't seem to fit there even though there is nothing to fit to.)
And futher more, I have both /opt/kde3/bin/start_kdeinit and /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit files there. Neither are symlinks to anywhere. Different files, with almost the same time stamp. So, your quick fix would replace one of these. Is this what you mean?
If you have upgraded late yesterday or early today then there is nothing to do because the new upgrade contains the corrected files. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
