Slackware 13.37, KDE4.5.5.
Is there another location (other than the .kde folder) where kde config
files are kept?
My standard way of recovering from "kde won't start" has failed me since
this is based on restoring a previously good .kde folder in place of the
existing one that is causing problems. Now I have a failure of startup
of KDE (but other users and other window managers for the same user
start up fine).
Symptoms are: Spalsh screen shows, but no progress with the icons which
should slowly appear. Dumped back to console where I see:
"
startkde: Starting up...
Connecting to deprecated signal
QBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)
kded(3521): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed.
Error message was "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : "The
name org.kde.kded was not provided by any .service files" "
"
This all started when KDE crashed when I foolishly tried to add a
"Launcelot" application launcher widget to my desktop. I already had a
"Quicklauncher" widget, but on trying to configure the new widget,
screen went black and I had to ctrl-alt-BS to close X and get back to a
console.
Thanks
