10.2 problem after one hour using

[from_america_with_love]

After installed openSUSE 10.2, i imediately added packman and guru repositories to install ntfs-3g and libxine to listen to music and access ntfs drive. But after short time using and several times restart computer, I received the following message when try to login kde : "could not start kdeinit. Check your installation". And it don't let me go through the login screen.

Everything still ok when using gnome, but kde is not. Even though i reinstall openSUSE, install libxine and ntfs-3g from source it's still the same problem.

Any ideas, any helps ?

Thanks very much.

My PC is DELL Inspiron E1505.

You say you can boot to Gnome but not to KDE? ... Strange.

My guess is either you have either:
a. some incorrect executeable file / library, or
b. a messed up KDE configuration.

A some what drastic, but possibly successful approach, is to rename the directory /home/username/.kde to .kde-back. If that doesn't work, then it suggests you have some incorrect executeable file or library. If that works, it suggests you had a messed up KDE configuration.

By renaming /home/username/.kde, you can always put it back.

i assume that Gnome is working perfectly. lets check KDE configuration. create a new user, select KDE session at login screen and log in as New User.
does KDE work for New User?
