Hmmmm well, I've just encountered my first major fail with KDE4.4 on openSUSE 11.2 (on a computer I support).
This is on a laptop install. It was working fine last night, but on startup this morning, the system boots, and when it gets to launching the desktop, all I see is a small box in the upper left which says:
kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 4. Check your installation.
I've just picked up the laptop from the owner, and am starting to try to diagnose this... strange... I've done some Googling on this.. only one exact hit from a German language forum. There they traced it back to a kernel update. I don't know if there was an interrupted of failed auto-update when the laptop was in use yesterday.
Any ideas on this one?
I had never heard of kstartupconfig4 before, but a quick browse through KDE's websvn gives me this: "This utility helps to have some configuration options available in startkde without the need to launch anything linked to KDE libraries (which may need some time to load). " in particular the following operation seems to be the cause of your specific failure: QFile f1( KStandardDirs::locateLocal( "config", "startupconfig" )); if( !f1.open( QIODevice::WriteOnly )) return 4; So for some reason /home/user/.kde4/share/config/startupconfig file is corrupted/unreadable. I'm not sure how to recreate it, maybe just delete it? Mine appears to be a shell script exporting the various preloaded configuration options.
