Dear friends:
I seem to have hit a minor snag, but I have no idea how to get out it. I
would really appreciate your help.
I am using LM 7.2 with KDE 2.1.1.
I tried to download Ximiam Gnome 1.4 (which allows for installation on
LM 7.2).
After downloading and configuration, I encountered a host of
installation errors (after the install process was finished). So, I
decided to go back to Gnome 1.2. I reinstalled the six Gnome files that
I had to UNinstall prior to trying to install Ximiam 1.4. When doing a
rpm -qa | grep gnome
I see that all my old Gnome 1.2 files are there.
When doing
rpm -qa | grep kde
I see that all my KDE 2.1.1mkd files are there.
After rebuilding my rpm database (#rpm --rebuilddb) and updating my
menus (update-menus -v), both of which were successful and rebooting, I
logged into KDE 2.1.1 without a hitch.
But something has since gone wrong, and I can't figure it out. I tried
to remove my .Xauthority file in my home directory and allow a new
.Xauthority to be created. Well, a new .Xauthority file was created but
I still cannot log into X (any X gui, I have tried startx, startx KDE,
startx Gnome, startxfce, all to no avail. Nothing seems to work). I am
stuck forever in the console.
By the way, all of the files in my home directory (ls -la | more) show
belong to me (sher) rather than root, including .Xauthority.
Below is the error message I get in the console every time I try to log
into KDE with startx (or any other command for any other gui):
BEGIN
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
>Error: Bad length in Symbols
> Output file "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed.
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the Xserver
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
_Font TransSocket UNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default font path 'Unix/:-1'
Fatal server error:
Could not open default font 'fixed'
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
END
Would really appreciate your help. I just don't understand enough of
what's going on to fix this.
Thank you in advance.
Benjamin
