Re: [newbie] KDE Died (The Blue Screen of Death)..... why?
Rob, Just a guess: before you startx, do a rm -f .DCOPserver* and then startx. KDE fails to load for me about once a week. This always fixes the problem for me. Miark - Original Message - From: Robin Regennitter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 11:48 PM Subject: [newbie] KDE Died (The Blue Screen of Death). why? for the 2nd time since I have installed mandrake 8.1, kde fails to loads. I see the box and it stalls on the mechanical icon and it just wont go to the next icon which is the keyboard and mouse icon. then it just disappear and the only thing I see is a solid light blue color on the screen. no taskbar, no icons, nothing works. sadly I had to switch to gnome which I really dont like. The first time, there seems to be no hope on having kde back especially with my user name. KDE works in root or other username. Maybe I just have too many things in my home directory that it causes KDE to corrupt only in that directory. I had to create a new username and copy all the stuff I had saved and do more works as I had done with this one. works fine for the next month or two then I get this blue screen again. There a dead serious bug somewhere that causes this. Has anyone experienced this? If so do know why it did this and what is the solution to prevent it from happening again?

in that users home directory, you should have a hidden file (got a . in fornt) called .kderc as I recall (and this is from memeory) this file can be removed (in a text console, Su to root, type cd /home/username (where username is the name of the user with the problem, ls -all without the quotes, and then if the file is there, rm .kderc you should be able to then restart x or login as that user and the kderc file will be regenerated.
