BTW, Google hits on this were not for this problem. They were a general thing solved by reinstalling some bit of KDE or making sure /tmp had space. None seem to be about this only happening for the root user. On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 1:04 PM, Roger Oberholtzer <roger.oberholtzer@gmail.com> wrote:
I have a 13.1 install issue. I will say up front that it is with an OEM install built for KIWI. But I have never seen this before in other OEM builds. And I find myself in the rotten position of needing to use this particular OEM image.
After a rather straight forward install, I want to log in as root, using KDE. I get the expected login, and the little status window with icons that shows the progress of the login. I then get the initial KDE welcome window that offers to give a tour and all. But the desktop is totally white. When I close the welcome window, the white is all I have.
I have tried loggin out and deleting the /root/.kde4 directory, but it makes no matter.
If I add a non-root user, KDE works a charm. No problem at all. It is only the root user that this happens to.
Seems if it was a permissions problem that the root user would be okay and all others have a problem. But it is the other way around.
Maybe I am missing removing some other files that confuses things for root?
