can't start kde
Hi, I'm new in using debian pure.
After first install, install also kde, reboot, the
login window appears but after few second kde doesn't
start but come back in login window.
I'vre reinstalled basic system, without software.
I used "apt-get install kde". Everything ok. From
console I tried startkde. The message:
"kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server" appears
continually until Ctrl+c. What I have to do?

You also need to "apt-get install xserver-xfree86" and maybe a few
others to get the full xserver running so that KDE has something to
display upon.
I'd suggest dselect, aptitude, tasksel, or one of the other helper
programs for apt which will help resolve all the xwindow
requirements.

....post the output of
$ egrep "\(EE|\(WW" /var/log/XFree86.0.log
And have a look at this log file. At the end there's probably a message
that tells you what went wrong. Probably there's something wrong with
your configuration.

I had similar difficulties with three Sarge installations. The default
is Gnome and gdm. It is possible to select software during installation
with the program aptitude, but this is a dangerous program with a not
very intuitive pseudo-GUI unsuitable for newcomers, so it is easy to
foul things up at this stage. I suggest doing a complete new install of
full graphical destop system not selecting anything with aptitude. You
should then eventually get a graphical login screen (called gdm). This
will start Gnome by default but it should be possible to select KDE as well.
An easier alternative is to install KDE-Debian is from Knoppix. First
start the Knoppix Live-CD or Live-DVD, e.g. Version 4.0. Then you can
invoke the knoppix-installer (I believe it is called just that) from the
root shell and select the Debian installation. You could also use the
live-CD for a while as it is and create a permanent home on hard disk,
which will not only hold data but also configurations and installed
software. A system called union file system merges the files from home
and from the CD. When everything is to your liking, you can then start
the installation onto hard disk and all the changes will be
incorporated. This is a quite unique and splendid way of installing.
There is no difficulty if you have the required partitions and know
where they are and do not have a complicated multiboot-system with
various systems on various disks.
However with Debian from Knoppix you will then have many programs from
the unstable (Sid) fork of Debian, and some from testing (Etch), so you
will eventually get problems, especially with KDE, if you start to
install or uninstall things without paying great attention. Installing
software can be done with kpackage, but IMHO synaptic is easier to use.
Synaptic will relatively clearly warn you before removing KDE
completely, which is often a result of trying to install, remove or
update a single program in KDE. Knoppix uses standard Debian packages
for most things.
A further alternative is to install Kubuntu, which will give you a well
configured KDE Debian-based system, but Kubuntu is not Debian and I'm
not sure if it can be easily turned into a pure Debian.

Re: can't start kde
Check if your local interface (lo) is mounted at boot in
(/etc/network/interfaces) ;-)

Re: can't start kde
is he/she saying startx and not startkde? That had me bamboozeled for
the longest time...
