I just set up my laptop recently, and I'm having trouble getting KDE to work for my user account. It works fine, however, as root. When I try to startx as a user, I get the following error message:
# There was an error setting up inter-process # communication for KDE. The message returned # by the system was: # # Could not read network connection list. # /home/daines/.DCOPserver_(none)_:0 # # Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running! "daines" is the name of my user account. I have my suspicions that this problem may be related to something else, since I cannot get apache to start, either. The "(none)" is what makes me think this. I don't have any idea how to go about fixing it, though. I haven't been running GNU/Linux for a couple years now because I haven't owned a computer (except the two at work!), so treat me like a relative newbie when giving me direction. Thanx, msd
