Re: [newbie] 7.2 and no Xserver (solved, sort of)
I don't know if you saw the earlier post, but, I finally determined that the problem had to be in the software. So I went into RPMDrake and tried reloading the KDE packages. Sure enough kdebase, kdeutils, kdeadmin and a couple of others were corrupted or had the wrong gnuphp or something like that. I went to KDE web site an and downloaded fresh packages. Installed with replace files checked and everything seems to be hunkydory. I will take your suggestion and make a backup copy of the .kde/share/applink directory.

[newbie] 7.2 and no Xserver (solved, sort of)
Well, Well, Well, I found that if I tried Xconfigurator the test screen looks every bit as good as when I did the initial install. Only this time having tried every thing else, I chose to click on yes when it asked if I wanted to boot to the xserver and cancelled the one user logon type thingee. I got into the Xserver and the desk top. However, I don't have any icons for things like KPPP and the Update etc. Can't find the KPPP configure and don't see my floppy or cdrw or cd. Any body know what Man pages I should start with to get things looking more normal? Oh, being stubborn (have I said that?) I have installed on two different computers and 3 different hard drives before I fumbled my way to an Xwindow. Just dumb luck I guess. Appreciate any help on the KDE desktop. I like what I see so far. -- Dennis M. a registered Linux user #180842
