Could not start kdestartupconfig after update
Hello, I have a serious problem: After an upgrade from SuSE 9.0 to openSuSE 10.0 root can't log in any more in KDE! I get the message: "Could not start kstartupconfig" and the login aborts. Normal users don't have this problem and shell-login for root still works... Can someone help me please? Thanks! ivan

This is just a shot in the dark, but log in as root in a console (CTRL+ALT+F1). Then rename /root/.kde to /root/.kde_old Then switch back to X (CTRL+ALT+F7) and log in as root. KDE will be forced to recreate the .kde directory. You will loose your KDE settings as root, but they should be easily enough to recover/redo. If there is something missing in the new .kde directory, you can go into the .kde_old to get it back. Hope this helps, Alvin -- Please reply to the list.

Remove in /tmp de files mcop-root kde-root socket-root. That might help... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
