Subject: [opensuse] KDE 4 no longer starts
Date: Thursday 10 April 2008
From: "Joop Beris"
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 would try
zypper up -t package
without limiting to KDE4 repository only.
I had similar problem and the solution was to have Main OSS repository
available as some package(s) was pulled from there, so 1-click install that
is using only KDE4 repository didn't worked.

Hi Rajko,
Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried your suggestion just now, which pulled in some updates, but it did not
solve the problem. The Main OSS repo is available, so that can not be the
problem.
The error remains the same.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Joop

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?
Thanks,
Joop

.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.

Hi Will, ... Error messages below:

That's all.
What am I doing wrong, or what is wrong on my machine?
It seems nothing.
The error is libqt4 related.
I had yesterday problems to update Factory installation because of missing
libqt4. I'm trying right now to update again and see is the problem still
there.

That's not true, the libqt4 packages you have installed are not the same as
those that the kde 4 packages you have were built against. To explain: when
you build a program that uses a shared library, the linker makes a note of
where to look in the shared library for the functions used in it by the
program. If you change the shared library, the functions may not be where
the program expects, so it bails out on startup.
Check that all your libqt4 packages come from the same place - do rpm -qi on
them and check the Distribution: line at the bottom. This should be
KDE:Qt44, since they are aggregated out of that project into STABLE:Desktop.
For the rest of the kde4 packages, it should be KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop or
Extra-Apps. Let us know if this is not the case.

Hi Will,
Thanks again for your input. I installed several updates this morning to KDE4
again, including KDE 4 base packages, which had apparently had been updated.
I had hopes that they might have fixed things, but unfortunately no...

Check every qt4 subpackage listed by

Which repos are you using (besides the KDE 4 ones you already listed)?
