Hi Alfredo, Yes, I've checked the .xinitrc file and it contains no entry (blank)... so i search for .xinitrc.template and then i copy it to overwrite the blank .xinitrc and I restarted my system and and try to login again. And it succeed ! Thanks Alfredo... I still wonder what Linux desktop system works.... so I'll keep trying on other solutions from Gerhard, James, and Boricua.

There should also be a file .xinitrc.template which you can copy to .xinitrc (notice the dot before xinitrc). It should be executable. Exit the text terminal, and try to login to KDE again. HTH.

I'm glad it worked. I learned this when installing ymessenger and noticed that it tried to modify .xinitrc and failed. Regards. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

I got that program for my wife's use. Do you know what it tries to change in the file? Mike

One of the things that .xinitrc does is to start the window manager, but you can also use it to set some environment variables. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
