Hi folks,
I am trying to set up KDE on my system running RH 5.0. I have successfully
installed the support, libs, base, utilities, and admin binary rpm files.
I've added /opt/kde/bin to my PATH and KDEDIR=/opt/kde. Since I do not have
a .xinitrc but I .wm_style file that I changed from Mwm to startkde. I boot
up to runlevel 3 and when I try to start kde by typing "startkde" I get the
following error messages:
Warning: could not attach SHM
krootwm: can not connect to X server
kwmsound: can not connect to X server
kcontrol: can not connect to X server
kbgndwm: can not connect to X server
kwm: can not connect to X server
kpanel: can not connect to X server
kfm: can not connect to X server
I've looked through the documentation for Installation and the only thing I
can see that I haven't changed is replacing /ect/rc.d/xdm with
/opt/kde/bin/kdm, and that is because I do not have a file called xdm in the
rc.d directory.
I would appreciate any assistance with this, I really would like to try KDE
out.
TIA
Dave
