State Changed From-To: open->closed This is a configuration problem. Please follow up with freebsd-questions@ if you are still having trouble. I can not figure how it's a configuration problem. After initial installation, or recompiling the kernel, KDE starts with no problem. It is a progressive problem in that, with use, it takes longer and longer to get the X-Server to initiate. The command line error message is "The D_Cop server is failing self-test". Al Turner It seems that I have several options: (1) go back to my antiquated machine, (2) Install some version of Linux, or (3) Revert to one of Redmond's offerings, none of which are appealing. |
After booting the machine it takes numerous (10 or more) tries to initialize the X server. I type xinit or startx A LOT, until, finally, KDE is up and running. After the first time I can exit KDE, log out, log in or out as root or normal user, and do various other things and KDE starts on the first try, until I reboot. I get the following error message when I boot: "Could not read network connection list /root/.DECOPserver__:0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running." Apparently the "dcopserver" is running, or else KDE would never start. Fix: Beats me! How-To-Repeat: Cold boot or warm reboot.
