Hi, I've installed the KDE packages from http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE4/openSUSE_10.2 to have a bit of a look & play on my openSUSE 10.2 system.I've installed the standard meta-port plus some other packages. When I try to login with the KDE4 preview session selectewd in KDM, the screen goes black & X restarts. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about troubleshooting this - Xorg.0.log and kdm.log don't show any useful info. I did try starting X without any window manager & then ran kde4init in an xterm. That gave me an warning: no DBUS session-bus found. Perhaps that's got something to do with it? I checked with ps & dbus seems to be running.
Cheers,
I've been doing some googling and experimented a bit more - if I run sudo /usr/bin/dbus-launcher in a konsole in KDE3 and then run a kde4 app, it runs. I tried the same from an xterm with no window manager running and then try kdeinit4, but I still get the dbus error. Should dbus-launcher be added to some conf file to make a kde4 session work?
