"X"? Umm... how to get a console window? KDE starts to load before any graphical login prompt (the only one of those seen in the process was the Ubuntu graphical login screen)... :$ > > Will not save configuration.

At different stages of the boot process... First that message, followed by the error message below. Seems it can't/won't write/save those files... Each one of those files appears after the words "Configuration file"... eg. "Configuration file "/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kwinrc" not writable." > > Configuration file... not writable. > > > > ..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals" > > > > (appears with each one of the above) > > > > Please contact you system administrator. > > > hmmm thats you :-) Umm... that is whoever knows how to fix this problem... ;) But yes, there is a person in charge of this computer. ;) > > The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: > > > > No write access to '/home/ebhakta/.ICEauthority' > > > this often happens when the partiton gets full, but that *should* not > have happenned to you (having said that I am not sure how much disk > space u have allocated to linux cf windows, its a possibility that > downloading the sizeable kde packages has filled the hard disk. Possible, yes... But it's a 20GB partition... Should be enough space there... :$ How to check the free space? > > Xmessage: Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation.

Just keeps repeating... gets to a point and then goes back to the start... (after the graphical login screen, and entering the username and password). :$ > Hey Vatsala, you have had a bit of stick for your posts, this one is > what we like to see (apart from sending it twice, but that happens!). > Welcome again to the community. Thank you. ;) But such problems are preferrably avoided. Nice to be involved with the Linux community though. Better than the other crowd... (they're not very soft, or sweet, so the name is appropriate). Now the toilet here has been dedicated to them, as that's where they seems to want to take everyone... unfortunately. Greed is NEVER nice. :$ Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. :) Wishing well, Bhaktavatsala Dasa (Vatsala) @ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~vatsalaji - Hare Krishna!
