Problem starting kde due libfontconfig1
Hello since yesterday I have the problem that kde ain't starting any more. I'm using the latest karolina deb's with sarge. The problem occurs when starting via kdm or via .xinitrc This is the error I get: /usr/bin/kdm_greet: relocation error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined sym bol: FT_Get_Next_Char (END) # dpkg -l|grep libfont ii libfontconfig1 2.1-11 generic font configuration library ii libfontconfig1 2.1-11 generic font configuration library (develop When I install fontconfig (for AA as mentioned on the list) - # apt-get install fontconfig Reading Package Lists...

Re: Problem starting kde due libfontconfig1 [solved]
Hello I solved the problem by installing Ralf's deb's (also qt3 debs). Still fontconfig won't install. But I got my AA back by using freetype and xfs as fontserver. Don't know what the problem was but I did is this way because I wanted to get my kde back. --- Anti-aliased fonts Ok, here is where people are always having problems. This tends to happen because either a) they've never dealt with X fonts before ever, or b) They have dealt with X fonts before and therefore think they know what they're doing. Here's the secret - Xft-using apps get their fonts only through Xft, and don't use X fonts, so your Xft fonts and X fonts are two independant sets, and the app will only use one of the sets. Fontconfig is yet a third place apps can get fonts, but that's a Gnome 2.2 thing, so I'm ignoring it for now. And it tends to be smart enough to pick up on the .fonts thing anyway. Therefore, the fonts your gtk-1/gtk-2 (non-aa) apps are using are coming from the X server, specified in /etc/X11/XF86Confg-4, whatever. These don't change. The fonts your Xft apps are using come from the fontpaths specified in /etc/X11/XftConfig or ~/.xftconfig. The easiest thing to do, and what I do, is to just not touch your X11 config at all, and create a ~/.xftconfig as follows: (one line) dir ~/.fonts Then put all your .ttf files in ~/.fonts. Run ~$ xftcache ~/.fonts - Greetings Rob Rob Lensen wrote (Sat 2003-Jan-04 14:20:18 +0100): This is the error I get: /usr/bin/kdm_greet: relocation error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined sym bol: FT_Get_Next_Char (END) Similar problem here, possibly related; from .xsession-errors: startkde: Starting up... kdeinit4: relocation error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: XRenderCompositeText32 startkde: Could not start kdeinit.

RE: problem starting kde
I had to switch to USB mice/keyboards because my one of my cats pulled my PS/2 connections out so hard that the sockets were loosened, and no longer work. When I first tried a USB mouse with Linux, I ran into this problem, and the solution was to load a bewildering number (five?) of kernel modules. I won't pretend to understand why there are so many, and it doesn't seem to matter what order to load them (other than kernel object-file dependencies), but here's what I have currently loaded: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mon Jul 15 11:47):/home/tim$ sudo lsmod Module Size Used byTainted: PF loop8336 3 (autoclean) mousedev3904 1 usbmouse1792 0 (unused) usb-uhci 21860 0 (unused) input 3168 0 [mousedev usbmouse] usbcore28832 0 [usbmouse usb-uhci] On my work machine (nearly identical, except that my PS/2 ports are not damaged), I found I was able to use both a PS/2 and a USB mouse in the same X session (multiple InputDevice sections in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, one for /dev/psaux and another for /dev/input/mice). One is a wheel mouse, and the other is a plain-3 button. I don't like the way the wheel feels when you try to use it as a middle button, so I do switch off sometimes. Tim Timothy L.

problem starting kde
hello, 2 or 3 days ago, you helped me to understand why my X did not work. Now, it's OK. I installed desktop environment with tasksel. I can lauch gnome, twm too but not KDE. In kde.log I get the following lines : (**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: PS/2' (**) Configured Mouse: Core Pointer (==) Configured Mouse: Buttons: 3 (**) Configured Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) Generic Mouse: Protocol: ImPS/2 (**) Generic Mouse: always reports core events (EE) xf860OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such file or directory. (EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device (EE) Preinit failed for input device Generic Mouse (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Configured Mouse (type: MOUSE) It seems to be a problem of kde software because X works fine with 2 other environments. My machine is a laptop Dell C610 and for my X config, I have done as other users of the same machine do : /dev/psaux and PS/2. This other information if this can help : with sawfish, I get just wallpaper and the mouse pointer, but I can do nothing. With failsafe, I am not used, so I am not sure if it is OK or not. Thanks for answer.

Re: problem starting kde
/etc/X11/kkm.log should contain information about why X failed to start. Hello, I'm a beginner with Debian which I like already a lot. I did a basic installation of woody with only kde and its dependances. When the system boots, I get the message starting K desktop manager : done, then the login in text mode and no kde. With a precedent installation with xfree86, xdm and twm, the graphical environment worked fine. I feel it's perhaps a problem of X configuration because I was not asked during this latter intallation to tell my kind of graphics hardware despite the fact that xfree86 has been installed.

Re: problem starting kde
I had a problem very similar to this on my Woody machine when I first installed it because I was missing some font packages. I believe they were xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, and xfonts-base. If this fails, check out your KDM log and see what's going on. Jon On Thu, 2002-07-11 at 14:02, Eric Aumont wrote: Hello, I'm a beginner with Debian which I like already a lot.
