KDE Log in and related info..

hi!!!!

For lots of helpful information, start here:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#doc

Probably the best thing is to press CTRL+ALT+F1 at the KDE login screen. You will be dropped down to the login prompt.

Log in as root and stop the Kde Desktop Manager:


(this may be different for suse, but I think this is right):

Code:

#/etc/init.d/kdm stop



Now once the KDM login screen is shut down, try and start X/KDE manually. You will need to type 'exit' at the command prompt and log back in as your normal username.

Code:

$startx



With any luck, KDE will start. If not, have a look at the errors provided and try and copy any error lines back to us here on the forum. Especially lines with (EE) for error, or (WW) for warning infront of them.

You may find it easier to get this info from the X server log, which should be in /var/log/X11 or something like that.

What exactly happens when you are trying to log back in? Does KDE try and start up, does the X server crash? Do you get any error messages?
