SuSe 10 doesn't boot in KDE

Hello,

I’ve a big problem. I wanted to install libraries and i f**£%d up my system.

When the computer boot then i get a small message saying: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.
Then i can click on okay.

After clicking okay then i see a list:

*ksmserver: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.4 not found ( required by usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
dcop: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version GCC_4.2.0 not found (required by usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 )
dcop: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_.4 not found (required by usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
startkde: Shutting down…
*

Can someone give me some help? I’m realy desperate :frowning:

Is this SLED? as opposed to openSUSE?

Either way you need to downgrade glibc. If this is opensuse.10 I hope you have a repo(Original install media should have it) also it is out of support.

Perhaps a newer version may solve some problems, lessen the need for additional libs and should certainly eliminate the need to play with glibc.

Thank you for your reply.

I don’t have the answer to your question because i don’t know what SLED is. It’s 100% not OpenSuse.

Sounds like sled 10 Caf is right if you want more specific help then over there.

But everything I’ve read says this is glibc, I suspect you tried to get something compiled against older or later glibc(Not supported by your one). So you need to roll back that change.

Now hopefully when you do that will be it. But I suspect this is turning up in a fair few apps broke if you investigate.

Maybe it help when i say that i have a second computer with the same installation?

Can i copy folders or files from the good working machine to the crashed machine?

Yes, i tried newer glibc.

How can i roll back?

From the command line run yast and view the different ones(Sorry can’t quite remember where) Software management then view packages either by repo(Choose disk) or installed.

If you can’t even run yast then I’m out of ideas and actually think you would have to try and solve deps yourself. It would probably be easier to re-install.

If you take the one from the installation media it should get you started.

Good Luck

Thank you for the reply. yast doesn’t work either. Same errors about GLIBCC_2.4 and GCC_4.2.0 is missing :cry:

Your next option is to find the rpm and try to install that, you’re just going backwards how far I haven’t got a clue. If rpm doesn’t work then hopefully someone else will jump in because I’m out of ideas.(Have you tried the repair of the install media?)

Kind of the egg and chicken, you need the glibc you had to run the things you have.

Your other option isn’t quite as crazy as it may seem, you may find copying would work. Don’t really know but guess you can try(Does copy(cp) even work?) You would need to run a ldd on the lib and chase them all down and their ldd’s to if they are broke. How far I don’t know may just need the first lot, perhaps not…

Problem is solved :slight_smile:

I did a automatic repair of the installation with the original DVD.

Everybody thank’s for helping and also to my m8 who spend some hours on the phone. :cool:
