Fatal error occurs at kde startup

English Applications
1

Hi guys,
I previously had opensuse 11 with factory build kde (4.0). I also have
compiz effects enabled. I decided to upgrade kde to 4.1.3. First of all,
I disabled compiz and switched to kwin. Then I successfully updated kde
and all dependencies too. At next reboot kde starts loading and finally
give me an error as follows and leaves me with nothing but a blank
screen.

A fatal error occured
The application plasma workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal
11 (SIGSEGV)

I am not able to post log here because my windows partitions are not
writable. How can I change these permissions from failsafe root login? I
am not familiar with any linux commands…:frowning:
Can you guys please help me out?

Good. Well done.

Just to say:
going by your re-name - you will probably find the old folder is now
not hidden as you didn’t include a .

> mv /home/akshay/.kde4 /home/akshay/kde4old
see the difference

Yeah I got that. Thanks… I have one more question, I hope you don’t
mind asking it here.:wink:

To access my windows partitions to write data in it, I have to
everytime start sudo file manager.

Is there any workaround for this?? I want to access my windows
partitions with write permissions as normal user.
