Hi I have a problem. When I boot suse takes me to "safe mode" just running the kernel after reporting a bad block on a scsi disc and advising me to throw it away as it didn't cost much! In safe mode it mounts and checks out using reiserfsck and also when I run the scsi card bios checks. Also checks out ok with the scsirastools. ls's and the files seem to be ok too. My main problem is that I am somewhat lost in the kernel and would prefer to work under kde so I tried to start kde. Startkde generated an error message stating that it couldn't find the X server. So I typed startx and that complained too. Does anybody know just what I need to type and where to get into KDE? Also if anybody knows of a link which explains just what file/files suse10 uses to get from boot to kde I would be very grateful. I've tried searching for snippets of the error message. They take hours as I can't exclude my home directory - those have come up with nothing too. -- Regards John Suse 10.0 KDE 3.4.2 B ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
