Hi,
I installed/configured KDE 3.5.6 based on the instructions given in the BLFS
book 6.2.0
However , I am only able to get to a KDE desktop by issuing startx from the
root console.
I am not able to do so when I try logging in at the KDE login screen using
non-root credentials.
I am getting an error complaining that libICE.so.6 cannot be found whereas it
is definitely there in the /usr/X11R6/lib directory. Also , this directory has
been added to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH
All the environment variables are same for both root as well as non-root user.
When I enter non-root user and password at the KDE login screen , the screen
hangs at Loading Desktop. I then have to manually kill X using
ctrl-alt-backspace to get back to the login screen.
Following are the details :
# .xinitrc file contents:
exec startkde
# Errors that I get when I issue startx from the shell of a non-root user:
startkde: Starting up...
