[opensuse] KDE 4 after updates cannot start kdeinit4
When I try to login into KDE 4 it greets me with an error that says Cannot start kdeinit4. Check your installation. I googled some problems and tried updateing libkde4 and libkde4core as well as the develop version of each this is the .xsession-errors log: /etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started. /etc/X11/xim: user environment variable LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sourcing /etc/sysconfig/language to get the value of INPUT_METHOD INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method).

vote for it.
I just voted for it. I managed to work around my problem by linking start_kdeinit_wrapper to the one for KDE 3. It's probably not the correct method, but it seemed to be an acceptable work around. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Something weird what poped up here. I dl'd several other vers of kdelibs4 and none contain the start_kdeinit_wrapper script. As I don't have kde3 installed, will have to get a late copy of kdeinit3 and see if that will work ;^) tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, after looking I do have kdelibs3 installed. Will try your work_around. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

tks,
I think that's the problem. Somewhere I'm thinking the update removed that file for some reason. I like KDE 4 but I still found it kinda funny I needed KDE3 to fix KDE4. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, the soft link worked for me also. I added that tidbit to the bug report. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
