Thanks a lot, I took the clue from this and removed all the <username> directories from the /tmp folder. I then was able to view the startkde file when I logged in next. On going through the log file I noticed that the errors were to do with the KDEqt, I think I forgot to install this package :( I though I had installed it.

I have now installed it and I could log on to the KDE desktop . It looks awesome!

I'm yet to see if I can log in as another user. I'll try that out in a bit.

Thanks a lot everybody for helping me out on this,

Regards,
Nilesh

We have this issue as well. You need to delete a few *-<username> directories in /tmp, which I think were installed with the installation and permissions are stopping you overwrite.

 

Should get you running, but the problem may re-occur if you log in as another user, and I don't know a permanent fix. Maybe someone else knows the answer?

Subject: [kde-solaris] unable to get to KDE desktop after logging in

Hello Everybody,
 &nbsp; &nbsp; I tried to install KDE on my Solaris 10 Ultra Sparc box. I followed all the instructions that were described on http://solaris.kde.org/instructions.php page. I installed all the binary packages and patches as described here. I also managed to get "KDE 3.4.3 32-bit [en_US.UTF-8]" display in the Sessions menu.

However, after I select this, I am unable to get to the KDE desktop. I get a blue screen (as described in the installation instructions) but after a few seconds I am taken back the  login screen. I do not get the Konfigurator as described in the instructions.  I however am able to log on to CDE and JDS (which were preinstalled). I  do not get any error messages. Everything else seems to work on Solaris except the KDE desktop.

I'm not sure what is going wrong. Is there any way to troubleshoot this problem ? Any log files that can help me ? I'm not a Solaris expert, but I can just work my way through. It would be great if anyone can help me troubleshoot this.

Thanks,
Nilesh
