 |
|
I've been in KDE and I decided to go over to GNOME and look around. Well now I can't get back into KDE. It keeps crashing on "Loading Desktop".
What the hell is going on with KDE? This same things happened one time when I was in GNOME and went into KDE and then back to GNOME and GNOME wouldn't load.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

You should check the log files of KDE, and post the contents here so the community can get more details on the problem. Check /var/log/kdm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log ... That's usually where the right information will be. As far as crashing on the Loading Desktop phase, sounds like a possible Qt problem. The logs will reveal more.
(I hate to tell people to check and post logs, because it's annoyingly not a solution. But it's the path to one!) |

Thanks to everyone for your replys.
This has been resolved.
I first:
then:
Didn't work:
So I quit and went on to GNOME and started messing around. Well, during my play I turned off arts or reset it some how, but not knowing this would change anything, I went back later on in the night to start messing with KDE again.
FINALY IT STARTED UP, YAY!
and when it started it told me that it was receiving errors from arts "something" and that was crashing it. I had also updated Xorg-x11, and some other things in world, but didn't update all of world. So it was arts that was crashing KDE but now its working just fine so I guess during my updates something needed to update arts and fixed the crashing. I think, GNOME uses something different that conflicted with arts somehow and sent KDE arts into a crash problem.
I hope this helps others and also give someone else ideas about how to fix this.
