Is there any way to rebuild a deleted .kde folder? The system is not creating It in the startup... I have a lan house with debian+kde and a user deleted the .kde folder... I have formated that pc, but the trouble continue... in all other pcs the system retuned ok after rebooting... How do I force kde to create/overrite a new .kde folder?

the user can login no problem? if changes to the desktop are made are they still there after logging back in?

It is weird... i can log in... but all that I got is a black screen and a mouse cursor... I have formatted the pc again with the same result. I am using now debian testing amd64. This time the folder .kde has been created, but with the same black screen and mouse cursor. I've got the same trouble in 2009 and solved It by adding 'Enable=false' to the file kwinrc under Compositing... but now everthing is diferent ( OpenGLIsUnsafe=false ). Any ideia?

The kdm works weird... as long as I click on the text boxes Its fine... elsewere It hangs. If I log in the loading screen shows up, hd... network... desktop... black screen of dead with a useless mouse cursor !!! What could be missing in the system? I am using nvidia drivers installed throught module-assistant . It doesn't work with nouveau as well... same bad attitude

I'd look at the nvidia drivers, which card/gpu and which drivers?

to display gpu and drivers, in Konsole type: glxinfo | grep OpenGL

I have installed the driver using module-assistant following debian wiki... I will now uninstall everthing with the name nvidia and download the .sh from the site... maybe there is something missing in the system... thanks for the clue.
I will do:
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
#to detect all files with nvidia installe
#and remove them by
aptitude remove --purge <pkg>
#then
sh NVIDIA...sh
#and reboot

Still not working... searching I see something about a bug with the non-free packages at wheezy, so I will try move from wheezy to sid... aptitude dist-upgrade ... I will post if It work. My videoboard is a 6100 onboard on a desktop... lots of headache... :D:D. I am installing task-kde-desktop as well the upgrade proceed. Thanks for patience.

Partial victory... now I have a wallpaper ... a squere up the right corner and a mouse that doesn't click anything :D:D. I cannot get to konsole, alt+f2 doesn't work ... ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work... sorry for limited post of request but I am rebooting all the time... ctrl + alt + backspace is not working either... I am on a limited command line on one and running across to post. I have downloaded nvidia instaler from http://www.nvidia.com.br/content/Driver ... pe=GeForce

I have tryed :
rm /home/$USER/.kde/share/config/plasma*
...
now I have a black screen with a taskbar down and a mouse cursor that doens't click anything... still locked after adding
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "No"
EndSection
to the xorg.conf file... glxinfo does not work at single user... I am on a trap...

I would, logged out of KDE, move /home/$USER/ and try again or try logging in as a new user

adduser test
password and stuff
reboot
...
test
password
hd... network... black screen of dead with a mouse cursor...

...it doesn't work.

what is: glxinfo | grep OpenGL

I will try to update to experimental... I think a missing or older file (gcc is 4.6 but nvidia installer needs 4.7) is trapping nvidia from start... I will post if worked...

I have uninstalled nvidia.sh... but nouveau is not working either... reinstalled xinit by aptitude reinstall xinit. Then I deletes xorg.conf and cd /etc/X11 && Xorg -configure . It created a xorg.conf.new at my root folder, but cannot be more wrong... It has 2 screens and It is a onboard video GF 6100 with only one exit ... the good news are that now I am able to click on the icons at kdm to select desktop manager or terminal or even reboot my machine.
What I am missing? glxinfo gives this msg: Error: unable to open display
