When starting 8.0 everything looks normal until it tries to start kde then the screen blinks on and off three times and returns to command line with linux login: When I log in as user and type kde I get the following: xsetroot: unable to open display ' ' xset: unable to open display " " xset: unable to open display " " xset: unable to open display " " ksplash: relocation error: ksplash: undefined symbol: _18QMetaObject_CleanUpPCcPFv_P11QMetaObject kdinit: Aborting, $DISPLAY is not set. Warning. connect ( ) failed: :No such file or directory ksmserver: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/ksmserver.so: undefined symbol: _18QMetaObject_CleanUpPCcPFv_P11QMetaObject startkde: Shutting down Warning: connect ( ) failed: :No such file or directory Error: can't connect kdeinit! Startkde: Running shutdown scripts Startkde: Done then it returns to command line, can someone tell me how to fix this. TIA David
