Hi all,
I have a problem starting KDE 4. This occurred shortly after the KDE 4 repos were moved. The error which occurs is:
"Could not start kstartupconfig4. Check your installation."
If I run a KDE 4 application in a Konsole window, the error is a bit different:
"# okular okular: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv"
I have added the correct (IMHO) repos for KDE 4: download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Desktop/openSUSE_10 .3 / download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Extra-Apps/openSUSE _1 0.3/
The opensuseupdater tells me that there are no updates available at all.
I have already tried to remove anything related to KDE 4 using Yast2, including anything that claims to have dependencies with KDE 4. Then I reinstalled KDE 4 from the above mentioned repos. This has not had the desired effect.
I have already asked this question here: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=47969&hl=kde4, but there were no useful responses, unfortunately.
I don't like replying to my own posts, but here is an update:
This morning there were a whole bunch of updates to KDE 4, which I installed. Opensuseupdater again indicates there are no available updates. Howver, KDE 4 still does not start. Any KDE gurus have any idea where to start looking?
.xsession-errors? Or switch to a text console, start an X server: $ X :1 & start dbus $ eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax` start kde $ /usr/bin/startkde4 and look at the error messages.
