This bug may be #446970 "kdeinit not found", but I don't see how the suggestion
given there (make sure that ksmserver is update to 3.5.8) can help, since 3.5.8
is not in testing.
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.
