here's a strange one... while waiting for the reply, i logged in as root and created a new user to see if i could duplicate the same issue with just a terminal box in the bottom right corner. i restarted and that user worked perfectly, kde desktop came up smoothly. so i logged out and went back in as my original user and it worked perfectly as well. go figure. i know this isn't a fix but it appears to working fine. thanks for all your help, its been greatly appreciated. charles > From: jreznik at redhat.com > To: fedora-kde at lists.fedoraproject.org > Subject: Re: help > Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:18:50 +0200 > > On Wednesday 24 June 2009 17:13:37 Charles J Smith III wrote: > > i've tried the command and here's the result. keep in mind that the kde > > desktop works if i login in as root, just not when i log in as user > > > > > > > > [root at III III] yum groupinstall kde > > It's not "kde" group but "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". > > Yes, I don't like it :D And KDE is going through some changes, as it's not a > desktop now but KDE community with KDE workspace, applications, people... > > Try to change session in GDM/KDM (the login screen).
