Well,
That was fun! Anyone else managed to create havoc with their KDE by updating to the latest KDE files? Seems the kdeinit would not start,
Um, yes. I just had this with 10.0 system using smart (and what ever repositories what were installed with smart :-) After the upgrade with smart, I hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the X. It did not restart. (No, I have not actually rebooted the whole system... should I?) Writing startx on shell terminal starts and logs into KDE normally. But I do not get the graphical login.
Anyway, the quick fix for the problem was to create a link: ln -s /opt/kde/bin/kdeinit /opt/kde/bin/start_kdeinit
Hmmm. I do not have /opt/kde in my system. Just /opt/kde3 (BTW, on a separate not, when running shell in X, the fonts are wrong so that when I type ll (or ls -la) I can not see the last char of the dir names... it diesn't seem to fit there even though there is nothing to fit to.) And futher more, I have both /opt/kde3/bin/start_kdeinit and /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit files there. Neither are symlinks to anywhere. Different files, with almost the same time stamp. So, your quick fix would replace one of these. Is this what you mean? -- HG.
