 |
|
I posted this in another thread, but that thread was really about a different problem that is now solved.
I installed the kdebase-startkde package, and it installed with no reported problems. However, when I type startx, I get the following:
getconfig.pl: Version 1.0.
getconfig.pl: Xorg Version: 7.0.0.0.
getconfig.pl: 23 built-in rules.
getconfig.pl: rules file '/usr/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg' has version 1.0.
getconfig.pl: 1 rule added from file '/usr/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg'.
getconfig.pl: Evaluated 24 rules with 0 errors.
getconfig.pl: Weight of result is 500.
New driver is "nv"
(==) Using default built-in configuration (53 lines)
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vga" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load m[/glep]odule "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
The kde guide did not say anything about a config file that needed to be updated. Any ideas on what to do next?

Ummm....Ok, but, I have to install X11 in order to run KDE? I mean, I am fine with that, however, nothing in the documentation I have read so far says that. In fact, in previous installations I have attempted, I specifically got errors saying X11 and KDE could not exist in the same environment. I am totally confused now. |

OK. I am off to install X11 then. I wish the KDE guide had mentioned this. Thanks for the help from both of you.

That worked. I now have the basic KDE system loaded. I had a few problems with my nVidia drivers, but I found the solution for this in another thread. Thanks for your help.
