I know I should be sending this to the KDE list, but this could easily be a amd64-specific bug...
This is a small problem, so I think it's okay that I annoy the amd64 list with this. I just reinstalled Debian and have just installed KDE via aptitude. However, I'm still in text mode. I've tried both startkde and startx. startx tells me the following: <stuff off screen I can't read> Writing authority file /root/.Xauthority /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xerverrc: line 2: /usr/bin/X11/X: No such file or directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xerverrc: line 2: exec: /usr/bin/X11/X: cannot execute: No such file or directory xinit: server error. Athlon64:/etc/kde3/kdm# xconfig bash: xconfig: command not found Athlon64:/etc/kde3/kdm# xconfigure bash: xconfigure: command not found Athlon64:/etc/kde3/kdm# startx <loops through all the above lines to:> xinit: Server error. That was startx. startkde goes like so: xsetroot: unable to open display '' xset: unable to open display "" xsetroot: unable to open display '' startkde: Starting up... startkde: Running kpersonalizer... 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 then loops until I hit ctrl+c to stop the runaway process. I'm totally stumped, and am open to any suggestions you might have. -- === GCB v3.1 === GCS d-(+) s+:- a? C+(++++) UL+++(++++) P L++(+++) E- W+(+++) N++ w--- M>++ PS-- PE Y+ PGP- t++(+++) 5? X?
