I tried putting "xterm" only in my .xinitrc. Once xterm is launched (without window management..., but otherwise works fine), if I launch manually /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher it tells me I should not run that manually, that it is started automatically by kdeinit4. If I then try /usr/bin/kded4, I get the same error as reported earlier: > kded(7702): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed. > Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did > not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " > Running "startkde" from the xterm I get: > startkde: Starting up... > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 > kded(10731): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed. > Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did > not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " > > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kcminit_startup > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/ksmserver > startkde: Shutting down... > klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 > startkde: Running shutdown scripts... > startkde: Done. > Why can't kded4 connect to my dbus?? 2009/5/27 Damjan Georgievski <gdamjan@xxxxxxxxx> > > startkde: Starting up... > > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher > > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 > > kded(7702): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed. > > Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did > > not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " > > this suggests kded didn't run .. maybe try to start it manually and > see where it breaks .. or even better start with xterm only and run > each kde component one by one. > > > > > -- > damjan >
