HELP! DCOP communication error!
Just upgraded to KDE 3.0.2, and had it working, but after som more updates it now crashes at startup with this message: DCOPServer up and running. /usr/bin/startkde: line 131: 2266 Segmentation fault kwin /usr/bin/startkde: line 131: 2267 Segmentation fault kpersonalizer --before-session _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root DCOPServer up and running.

KLauncher: Exiting on signal 1 kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children. kdeinit: Exit. This is really bad. I've tried anything I found on the net including reinstalling everything that might be related, but nothing helps. I'm running unstable/testing, and also tried upgrading to KDE 3.0.3, but the result is exactly the same. Does anybody have any clues about whats causing this error? Or is there a painless way to downgrade to KDE 2.2.2? .gif

How about kwin? This contains the startkde scripts.
yes, kwin is installed - version 3.0.3-1
I attached the long list with everything that has KDE in the

Ok... Those ideas failed.
Try logging in with failsafe and running the pieces from the script, if you
get the same run it with strace to find out what libraries its trying to
use.
Can't think of much else sorry.
Dale.
Thanks for yor help so far! Even though there's no solution yet, I feel like
getting closer..:)
The strange thing is that it seems like a lot of people have had similar
problems, but I haven't found any good solutions yet.
Anyway, after a lot of fiddleing I managed to get an strace on kwin as you
suggest. The trace is attached. Doesn't make me much wiser though...
