Default Install complete but will not login

I am getting "Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation." I click okay and it takes me to the login screen but when I try to log in I get the same error.

Advice?

Default Re: Install complete but will not login

Do this:
Quote:
Pause the boot by moving the down arrow, then back up to the default boot. But now press backspace, it should delete any text where you can see: vga=0x...
Remove all text and now type just the number:
3
and hit enter


at the login type your user name and then password
now type:
su
then the root password
Now type;
yast
navigate with the keyboard and go to software management
Filter by Patterns
Select kde4-base
Do update all in this list unconditionally
Accept

Next check in Security and Users - User Group Management
Expert Options
Uncheck Auto login
Accept

quit

reboot

At the login screen if you still can't get in to a kde4 desktop, try the icewm session from the session options, lower left of screen
