I normally start a KDE desktop session from the console, using startx. After a recent update startx only flashes the nVidia logo, shows the "x" cursor, then goes blank. However, starting a desktop session through kdm brings up the login prompt and KDE desktop successfully. My .xsession-errors file shows the following after a failed startx attempt: Xsession: X session started for root at Thu Nov 15 22:10:41 EST 2007 startkde: Starting up... Hangup GOT SIGHUP startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. Error: Can't open display: :0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory And the shutdown of a (successful) kdm session writes the following to .xsession-errors (process 2302 is 'kded [kdeinit] --new-startup'): startkde: Shutting down... klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 process 2302: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, asser$ This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. process 2302: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, asser$ This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. As mentioned, this seems similar to #446970, but I'm confused about the suggestion to update ksmserver to 3.5.8, since the current version in testing is 3.5.7.dfsg.1-1. /usr/bin/start_kdeinit_wrapper does exist. Lines 347-354 of startkde look like this: # We set LD_BIND_NOW to increase the efficiency of kdeinit. # kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications. LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup if test $? -ne 0; then # Startup error echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.' 1>&2 xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." fi Thank you for your attention.
