[opensuse-kde] KDE doesn't start after upgrade to 4.6.2
Hi everyone, I am running openSUSE 11.4. The only additional repos activated are "Packman" and "openSUSE:contrib". Everything works fine with these enabled. In order to upgrade from KDE SC 4.6.0 to 4.6.2 I enabled the KDE Upstream "Core" and "Extras" repositories and did a "zypper dup". After rebooting, I tried to log into my system using KDM. But after entering my username and password and pressing the Enter button, KDM seemed to restart itself. I didn't get to my Plasma Desktop. So I downgraded to the 4.6.0 version. My questions therefore are: Do you have the same problem? Is it a known bug? Thanks in advance!

As suggested over there, I edited /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager and entered DEFAULT_WM="startkde". It does work now! Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Possible cause: bash-script-file /usr/bin/kde4 (# Script for launching KDE4 applications from outside of the KDE4 desktop) If this file would either not exist or have another name the whole bug would not happend. Where does this come from ? upstream or is it suse/OSS? Eitherway, the 'start'-logic searches for the "$DEFAULT_WM" entry, if found in $PATH, it checks for executable, if yes starts it, if no then the logic does a try with "start$DEFAULT_WM" in $PATH. So the existence of a "kde4" executable in the $PATH hinders us here.
