Last night I installed a clean version of the rc5 system using the i686 |
| 2 |
binary CD (r2, to be exact) and emerge --usepkg system. I also emerged |
| 3 |
openssh, and I then used "emerge kdebase-2.1.1-r1.ebuild" to build X, |
| 4 |
kde, and anything else required along the way. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
When I try to start kde either from kdm or by doing an "echo 'startkde |
| 7 |
&' > ~/.xinitrc" and "startx", it crashes out very quickly with no error |
| 8 |
message. I would have suspected a pam problem if the problem had just |
| 9 |
been with kdm, instead I'm just pretty well clueless. I know that X is |
| 10 |
working because I can run "startx" without an .xinitrc file and I can |
| 11 |
login as a user using failsafe mode. Does anybody have any thoughts? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Nevermind, I just found it. The ebuild modifies |
| 14 |
/opt/kde2.1/bin/startkde, but it fails to make the modified |
| 15 |
script executable. Oops. I fixed the ebuild on CVS. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I still don't know why, when I log in as a user instead of root, |
| 18 |
I only get the K menu and the desktop icons on the panel. The |
| 19 |
shell, control center, help, home directory, konqueror, and |
| 20 |
kwrite icons are all missing. Help? |
