How do you start the applicatios (shell, start menu, ...)?
Using the button of kicker, "run command" (alt+f2) or an already running konsole.
It happens also for Firefox!? Then you also get the "kdeinit warning"?
No, when trying to start FF just nothing happens. No error message and no window either. I wrote it a bit unclear. The messagebox appears when trying to start e.g. konsole. When trying to start the screensaver I use the "Miniprogramm" (mini applet in english?) I added to kicker, then there is no message box too, only the screen is not locked.
When it doesn't work next time try a "simple" application like xterm. Does it start?
I will as soon as there is a possibility to. Some other things I noticed today: First: when executing "xhost +localhost" I got a No protocol specified xhost: unable to open display ":0.0" and executing "xauth list" gave xauth: /home/iwtm05/.Xauthority not writeable, changes will be ignored however this file definitely belongs to me and I have both write and read permissions. Some seconds later, after everything worked normal again, "xhost +localhost" worked as it is supposed to (granting localhost access) and "xauth list" did not give any error messages. The homes are distributed over NFS can this be a problem? Second: I wrote a dumb bash script opening and killing a konsole in an endless loop all the time. And within roughly four hours this script was three times unable to launch a konsole because of the reported problem. So it looks like this happens more frequently than I thought, only I did not recognize it in the past. Third: I do not know if this helps, but this error was/is not present up to 10.3 and it was (is?) present in 11.0. (I did not deploy 11.0 widely because of an unusable nscd, glad I am rid of it in 11.1) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
