Cant boot KDE
I am using Fedora 14. After last updating KDE I can no longer boot to KDE unless it is from run-level 3. If I use run-level 5 it will only boot to Gnome. If I use su -c 'kdm' I get the message 'kde no longer valid'(sometimes), but the greeter will let me choose KDE. I have been using KDE since version 1.1 and have never had any problems. Switchdesk has no effect. Can you please help? tina42 |

This turned out to be a non-kde fault.
The file /etc/sysconfig/desktop was missing. Sorry to have thought kde was the culprit. If any one else gets this error the fix is (as root) touch /etc/sysconfig/desktop edit desktop to read DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE and chmod 664 /etc/sysconfig/desktop. Now I get the KDE greeter! Thanks for your help and suggestions. tina42 |
