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?
Do this:
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

Select kde4-base
Do update all in this list unconditionally

Next check in Security and Users - User Group Management

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
