Description Silviu Marin-Caea 2005-10-21 15:03:48 UTC 
KDE does not start in runlevel 5. 
 
I tried init 3 and startx. 
 
I get the splash screen with loading components and then it goes back to just 
and X display. 
 
At this time in the text console where I've typed startx, I get this message 
repeating in a loop: 
 
KCrash: application kded crashing.
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2005-10-24 21:10:34 UTC 
did you read the list of most annoying bugs for alpha2? did you run fc-cache -f?
Comment 2 Silviu Marin-Caea 2005-10-25 10:05:07 UTC 
Ok, that was it, sorry.
Comment 3 Juan Erbes 2005-11-01 14:45:58 UTC 
I have the same problem. I got as user a black screen with the mouse only, and with startkde:
startkde: starting up...
kdeinit: aborting. $Display is not set
Warning: connect() failed: no such file or directory
ksmserver: cannot connect to x server
startkde: shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: no such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit

I mean the problem is that $Display is not set to localhost, or localhost was not set.
Comment 4 Juan Erbes 2005-11-01 14:51:37 UTC 
I will try with to set $DISPLAY with:
"setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0"
Comment 5 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-01 14:56:16 UTC 
did you read the bugreport at all?

did you run fc-cache -f (as root and as user) ?
Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2005-11-01 15:07:20 UTC 
Juan: if you have a probem with wrong Display - create a bug report and don't reopen random bugs.
Comment 7 Juan Erbes 2005-11-01 19:01:53 UTC 
Yes, the problem is the same: KDE does not start
but with other cause ($Display is not set).
