A few months back I reinstalled 11.3 (KDE) over a broken version of 11.3 (kde) the new installation did not allow kde to start. Instead I got a blank screen with a terminal window in the top left corner. If I try " startx " I get the following-
xauth: file /home/fran/.serverauth.2973 does not exist
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
xinit: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (resource temporarily unavailable) on X server “:0”
connection to X server lost after 7 requests (7 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Removing .X0-lock did not help so at the time I resorted to running gnome untill 11.4 came out. needless to say I have now installed 11.4 and still have the same result IE no KDE .
any Ideas?
Thanks
