Hi Ronald, Sounds like your are running KDE ? Right ???
right! [deleted all text, but left what I done]
ctrl+alt+F1
(logged in as root)
init 3
rm -rf /tmp/* rm -rf /tmp/.*
cd /home/me
rm -fr .mcop rm .mcoprc,
cd /home/me/.kde
rm *-www rm -rf /tmp/*
cd /root rm -fr .mcop rm .mcoprc, cd /root/.kde rm *-www rm -rf /tmp/*
init 5
and you'll see the xserver restart.
Yes, but with the same error message: Could not start kdeinit - Check your installation This regardless, if I try to login as "me" or as "root" What could still be wrong? bye Ronald
then ctrl+alt+F1 from the kdm screen and type exit or logout.
then crtl+alt+F7 back into kdm login, login to users account.
Then do as above in the konsole with "sux -".
Forgive me if this is redundant, I don't know you experience level.
Like I said, sometimes, after updates, host name changes, etc you have to clean out these files. It used to be a must with kde upgrades, and I still do it from time to time when kde get cranky.
HTH Curtis.

No, the X cookie is stored in $HOME/.Xauthority
If "sux -" doesn't work,
su, rm /root/.Xauthority , exit , sux.
Then it should work.
Getting to be a FAQ.
=====
[gar@gboxen1 gar]$ locate .Xauthority /home/carolene/.Xauthority /home/gar/.Xauthority [gar@gboxen1 gar]$
Also: /root/.Xauthority is there, just not found from gar@boxen1

I got it backwards, or sideways, or.....All right already :P
Cheers, Curtis. :)
I did a little editing on the above, so reading the original would be good. YMMV.
