Hi all,
finally I decided to upgrade from kde3 to kde4. All went well, but:
1 - I am not able to fix the frequency of the display, neither using
nvidia-settings nor throught System-settings->Dislplay. Every time a
session starts I have to set it again (and this both as root and as
user);
As user only and at the start of every session:
2 - I have to resize the dimension of the Panel;
3 - I have to enable the Compositing (desktop effects)
Sounds like config files are not being written correctly. I would look
at all of the ".*" folders in your home directory and see if they are
all writable by you. This was likely caused by you trying out startx
while in a root non-login terminal, which used "su" to get into. I did
this once with firefox, and it caused it to fail silently when I tried
to start it.
further
4 - I cannot mount a partition (both from command line and from
desktop) the answer is "Only root can mount a device" (all
permissions are the same as before)
I would check out "groups <username>" and see whether you are a member
of the plugdev group.
5 - I am not able to become root (both in konsole and term) the answer
is "Authentication failed" (consolekit is merged)
Wheel group for this one.
