Bug#353722: kde 3.5.1 at login says: could not start kdeinit. check your installation
Package: KDE Version: 3.5.1 Severity: important KDE no longer starts up properly after an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday. Right after entering usrn/pwd at login screen, a window appears in the upper left corner saying could not start kdeinit. check your installation. the KDE splash screen is then stuck at (interprocess communication setup (in German, in my case, it says: Einrichtung Interprozess Kommunikation) and the startup process stops at this point. ps at that time says: /usr/bin/kdm \_ /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-wHJggl \_ -:0 \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/startkde \_ /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/startkde \_ xmessage -geometry 500x100 Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. when clicking Okay in the error message window, startup continues but KDE then does not work properly: some key-binds are missing. programs crash right at startup (e.g. licq, mozilla, firefox) or crash after a few minutes (e.g. gftp). the problem appears for all users on the machine, even when starting KDE without a ~/.kde directory (the kpersonalizer first session wizard will then just crash at second screen and the KDE splash and the error message will appear as described above). nothing is logged in the syslog, kdm or Xorg logs. the only clue i got so far is found in .xsession-errors and leads me to believe that the trouble is somehow connected to libxft2. .xsession-errors says: startkde: Starting up... kdeinit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden startkde: Could not start kdeinit.

Could not start Kdeinit. Check your installation
Hi, I have upgraded KDE 3.1.4 to KDE 3.2 and when I start KDE I get error Could not start Kdeinit. Check your installation Now KDE starts long long time and all KDE application starts long time too. Other application (no from KDE) works fine. After that Ihave removed KDE 3.2 and installed 3.1.4 but problem is still here. I use Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 woody and Xfree86 4.2. Can anybody help me whit this problem?
Re: Could not start Kdeinit. Check your installation
The solution is posted on http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKDE Error message on startup: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again. This is due to a missing newline on line 164 of /usr/bin/startkde, after LD_BIND_NOW=true

Re: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again.
I think this is because the libqt3-mt 3.2.1-5woody6 backport was compiled against a different freetype6 lib (my unstable is 2.1.7-2 whilst woody is 2.0.9-1).

Hi! I don't know exactly what's the problem, but I could solve it by downloading the qt sources (from the kde servers) and dpkg-buildpackage (i.e. recompile of qt into a debian package).

Re: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again.
same error here after KDE 3.1.4-woody - KDE 3.2.0-0woody1 update. Plus: Most Fonts are not anti-aliased. my config: woody system + XFree 4.2.1-16 (unstable; no backport) my investigation: debugging shows: kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream I think this is because the libqt3-mt 3.2.1-5woody6 backport was compiled against a different freetype6 lib (my unstable is 2.1.7-2 whilst woody is 2.0.9-1). Downgrading freetype6 isn't possible since the unstable XFree depends on it. Thus I tried upgrading libqt3-mt 3.2.1-5woody6 - libqt3c102-mt 3.2.3-2, since this one would be compiled against the correct freetypt6 lib. Unfortunately X doesn't start at all after that: libkdefx.so4: undefined symbol: __ti7QPixmap Here the problem seems to be that KDE 3.2.0-0woody1 is compiled against libqt3-mt 3.2.1 whilst unstable is 3.2.3. Next option would be to get XFree 4.2.1-15 (can't use 4.1.x on my laptop) from www.backports.org and use it together with the freetype6 of woody. Unfortunately I was running out of time here. __ /oby

Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again.
Hello. I have KDE 3.2, under Debian testing/unstable. I wiped clean my previous installation of KDE 3.1 (apt-get --purge, rm -rf /etc/kde3) and reinstalled from the .deb's at download.kde.org. Whenever any user logs into a session from kdm, a window pops up that says: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again. Another user reported on comp.windows.x.kde today that he sees the following error message: kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. I haven't seen this, but it's consistent with the error messages on my box. I filed a bug report about this at KDE: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74154. They instantly replied that this is an installation problem. Contact debian-kde or the package maintainer directly. Any help would be appreciated. Andrew.

You do realize, don't you, that you installed woody backports of KDE 3.2 which were built with gcc 2.95, and so are incompatible with your qt and all other c++ packages from testing/unstable. This might be the cause of your problems.

The closest I see is CVS from 2004-01-26, at http://rs.fuzz.nl muesli/686/kde_head/. Correct? Or am I missing something? Thanks, Andrew.

There is something closer - a combination of two sources, by the two primary Debian KDE maintainers: deb http://people.debian.org/~ccheney/kde-3.1.95/ ./ deb http://people.debian.org/~bab/kde-3.2 ./ You can read more about it at http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKDE I believe that the ~bab debs are what will go into unstable (or experimental if KDE 3.1.5 doesn't move to testing soon enough). The ~ccheney debs are 3.2 final, but don't have all the conflicts: and replaces: sorted out, so you will need to remove k3b and koffice to use them for now (and you still might have some conflicts on upgrading). Good luck, Josh

Most (though not quite all) of my KDE problems have been solved, including the dreaded Could not start kdeinit. I just love my new KDE desktop.

I still get the 'Could not start kdeinit' and this is on a totally woody system with no unstable packages anywhere with gcc 2.95.4 Any ideas what would be causing this? Also if I try to compile anything the configure always bombs saying it can't find qt-mt library which is also installed. Any help would be good :) cheers Peter vdM

From this morning, when I start KDE I get the following error: Could not start Kdeinit. Check your installation. I remember having a similar problem recently, but don't have the original files around anymore. It looks as if this error message is generated in startkde (/etc/kde3/debian/startkde) when it can't find the kdeinit binary. I think I fixed it by changing the name startkde used from kdeinit_something to kdeinit which actually was on my system.
