Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] kde4
Move your .xinitrc to .old.xinitrc, so you can go back if you like. Create a new .xinitrc containing the lines: kaudioserver & kfm -d & kcc -init & kbgndwm & krootwm & kpanel & kwm Then just type "startx" like normal. It is also a good idea to remove your old .kderc, .kde directory, and Desktop directory. Kde doesn't seem to like residue from old installs. I do not use kde, but I have been installing it since beta2 because I like the file manager and some of the games, and it has always displayed bad behaviour when I tried to upgrade over an old install. If I removed all traces of kde then installed the new version everything worked fine. Good luck. Aaron Seelye wrote:
All,
I don't know if this is the proper list, but here goes. I am trying to install kde beta4, and i installed all of the rpm's and the qt 1.33 rpm, but i cannot get it to work correctly (i did install them in the correct order). when i enter startx, it loads fvwm95 (or fvwm2, i forget which), and when i hit the button for other windows managers, it doesn't show kde4 like it did for kde 1 (which i uninstalled). when i type startkde, i am given the following:
kcontrol: cannot connect to X server kwm: cannot connect to X server kbgndwm: cannot connect to X server Using old audio server with talk id 1
kfm: cannot connect to X server krootwm: cannot connect to X server kwm: cannot connect to X server kpanel: cannot connect to X server
I would appreciate any help that anyone could give.

I deleted the specified files, and edited the .xinitrc files to the specified
configuration below, but to no avail. the error list is the same as it was when i hit
startkde, only in a different order. if that is a problem, i can write it down, but i
didn't think that it would be that important. i did double check the files to make
sure the changes had stuck, and they had. could this possibly be a problem with kde4's
compatibility with stb velocity 128 pci? any further suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know what would cause kde to bail like that. Head over to <A HREF="http://www.kde.org"><A HREF="http://www.kde.org</A">http://www.kde.org, join their mailing list and post the problem there. I bet you will get a more substantive answer. Sorry I wasn't able to be more help. Good luck. Aaron Seelye wrote:
