Choppy, I want to help you fix the problem you showed us last night. I apologize that I wasn't able to fix it there when you showed it to me, but I am confident that it can be fixed.
As I mentioned, some app that KDE is starting or trying to start is causing your problem. You have a couple of choices: 1. Try to log the problem as it is happening. 2. Don't start KDE. I recommend the latter. KDE is started from either your $HOME/.xinitrc or /etc/X11/.xinitrc file, or something similar. There should be a line similar to "exec kde" in one of those files. You can simply change it to "exec someotherwindowmanager", if you have another window manager installed. Because KDE and Gnome are both desktop environments rather than just window managers, they both run a lot of apps to provide a framework for other apps to run in. Basically, you don't need em at this point in your Linux adventures. I'm not sure why you are having a problem. I don't think I've ever seen KDE fail like that. Have you let it run for a while to see if it merely a process that needs to time out? I would like to see your .xinitrc file and any other KDE config files you have. Can you sneakernet them to another box and email them to the list? John Hebert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
