Subject: How to start KDE from a console prompt?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
To enter GNOME, I type "startx". I tried entering KDE by typing
"startkde" which I what I remember doing a couple of years ago when
I last tried it. But it can't start X.
Anyone have any clues?
$ startkde
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
xset: unable to open display ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kwin: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
[etc etc ad nauseum]

Try /etc/init.d/kdm start (assuming you have kdm) and let us know. startkde
gives me similar messages, but starting kdm works fine. - John
