I used to have the same problem, what I did is this: 1. reinstall kde: pacman -S kde 2. recreate the kms initcpio in my case (your case could be different): mkinitcpio -p kernel26-kms 3. install xf86-video-intel-newest from aur Im not sure which step was the one that actually fix it, but now Im running kde fine I hope it works for you too Good luck On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 7:35 AM, Nicolas Bigaouette <nbigaouette@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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 >> >
