this Win98/ML8.1 dual boot system (P233MMX IDE 10G 2G), and somehow
it really messed up KDE. Now, no matter what I do - Ksplash,
Konqueror, Konsole, Krusader, whatever - I get this error box telling
me that it returned error 11 (SIGSEGV) which is usually caused by a
bug in the program. I click on OK - But, the ap doesn't load and
I can't do anything - I can't even get to a shell !!! I've been
getting around it by using gNome and Nautilus, etc., etc., and I
don't seem to have any problems with it. I've uninstalled, and
re-installed all the KDE stuff - But, nothing seems to change.
Since all this started, my screen (S3 Trio video, Dell 1025DTM
monitor) seems to 'flash' ever so often - But, that might be just a
coincidence. I can unload and then reload ML (good excuse to go to
8.2, I guess), but I'd really like to know what has happened and how
to fix it.
If I understand, you are able to run gnome but not kde.
If this is the case then I would try renaming (rather than deleteing
until you know it works) the mcop and dcop files and directories in
your home directory
My home directory is /home/dh3/
in my case the files and directories I'd rename
(or backup and delete) are:
/home/dh3/.mcop
/home/dh3/.DCOPserver_localhost
/home/dh3/.DCOPserver_localhost_:0
/home/dh3/.MCOP-random-seed
file:/home/dh3/.mcoprc
Then try logging in to kde again.
If this doesn't work then I would try renaming the /home/your-home/.kde
directories (/.kde, /.kde1, /.kde2, /.kde3). You will need to rebuild
your preferences if this works as these directories are where the prefs
are kept.
good luck
