Dear All, My question concerns starting KDE 3.3 on my fresh Etch installation (i386 on AMD Athlon machine).
1. In ~/.xsession I have only one line "exec startkde" 2. X starts without any problems and Display Manager window appears (I tried xdm and kdm) 3. After I enter my login and password, the splash screen appears. 4. Splash screen stays at the "Initializing system services" stage for about 2 min and then (without passing the rest) I see the background with a mouse pointer. That's it. 5. After killing the X with Ctrl+Alt+Bsp the .xsession-errors file reads: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Xsession: X session started for <username> at Mon Aug 22 18:28:16 CEST 2005 ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 22301, errno = 95 startkde: Starting up... kdeinit: Shutting down running client.

ERROR: Communication problem with knotify, it probably crashed. ----------------------------------------------------------- Other win-manager (e.g. wmaker and xfce) work without any problem. I think, something goes wrong when xlib refuses KDE the connection to ":0.0". Why does it do so? It does not help if I put "xhost +" in the ".xsession" file BEFORE "exec startkde". I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance Roman
