problem while logging in through kde in SUSE 9.3
hello all, I have problem while logging in(as root) through kde environment in SUSE 9.3. When I logged in as root throgh terminal, I tried kdeinit command. It reported that kded might be crashed. So i wanted to ask, what is the procedure to recover kded. Would there be any problem with Xserver itself ? Please help me for this issue. thanks & Regards, -Rishikesh.

try WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde startx to start KDE from the terminal.

Premature ctrl+enterulation. What I wanted to say as well is that 'kdeinit' is part of the internal KDE session startup, and you don't need to run it by hand unless you're a kde developer. If you are interested to see how it works, read the above startkde script. I'll only hint at the usual 'don't run a desktop enviroment as root' dogma :) HTH Will
hi,
thanks for your help. I tried that out but it didn't work. To know the
problem in more detail,
goto

My problem is exactly same as given on this web page and I got similar log
messages in
Xorg.0.log file also.
Regards,
-Rishikesh.

So you can start an X server ( X :1& works from the text console ) but you can't start KDE from it. Nor can you start KDE by hand with startx as I suggested. Can you start KDE as suggested by the third post by 'Nodsu' on that page? $ X :1& $ export DISPLAY=:1 $ startkde If not, what is the output of startkde at the terminal? Can you start KDE as a different user? If so, something in your root's KDE config is broken. If not, most likely your KDE packages are messed up, did you upgrade them recently? Will

Isnt there a setting (maybe in YAST sysconfig editor) that does not allow x-login by root? OJ -- It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. (Douglas Adams)

Can't speak to 9.3 and other desktops but on 10.1 with KDE, if your ".fonts.cache-2" file somehow is corrupted, the results will be the same. Deleting or renaming it will allow you to log back in.
Hello,
I can start kde by set of commands:
$ X :1&
$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ startkde
But still I can't login through login screen . So how can I do it ?

-Rishikesh.

Does this apply for all users or just for root? (see question in my previous mail) Will
