I'm sure that I'm just suffering from newbitis and I apologize. I'm trying to install kde on sarge. I have done apt-get kde. I have the first 4 cds and everything installed with no problem and only a few items required to download. When I tried startkde I got something like:
xset: unable to open display xsetwin[??]: unable to open display kwin: unable to connect X server kpersonalize[??]: unable to connect to X server (Sorry that I don't have the exact error messages, just the notes that I scrawled down.) After some googling I found that xserver-xfree86 was not installed. I put that in and did a apt-get dist-upgrade just to be sure. Everything was fine but no kde and same errors. I did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 which gave me a lot of dialogs that I hadn't seen before, but I still cannot start kde. Can anyone give me any ideas what to pursue here? It's a bit difficult because I'm dual-booting, so without kde or any other gui, I can't get online to browse for answers (except for lynx, which I can use for a bit, but I'm pretty spoiled on having firefox open with a dozen tabs with different solutions...). Again, my apologies if I just need to RTFM. If someone could point me to the correct FM I'd really appreciate it!
