I can't start kde, when I log in It crashes on "Setting up interprocess communication" and I have to reboot because I can't do anything, everything crashes. I'm using xorg-6.8.0-r1...

Sorry for my english

Bye

Anybody come up with a solution? Same problem here it just started yesterday after I had to kill Xorg because it was going so slow I couldnt exit kde. Went to log back into kde then it just locks up. The keyboard seems to be locked up since alt+ctrl+backspace dont work and pressing the caps lock button doesnt turn the light on however I can still kill xorg by logging into ssh.

I had the same problem with "setting up interproces communication' but only when I tried to log in as user. I could log in KDE as root.

When I tried to log in as user I saw some errors with 'dcopserver'. Runnin dcop_server_shutdown didn't work however. In the end I deleted some config files from $HOME called dcopserverlocalhost or something. That solved it.

Nope didnt work, also root cant even start kde something must be really screwed up...also the whole login splash screen doesnt even show up just the small bottom part which takes about 1-2 minutes untill it even says "Setting up interprocess communication" then the keyboard is locked up after that.

OK solved my issue, turns out that it was the new nvidia driver that i upgraded was causing these issues, after disabling the renderaccel option in xorg.conf everythings back to working.

Had a feeling it was nvidia because it was weird how all the graphics wouldnt show up, I heard the kde start sound but it was like the screen wasnt getting updated. Gald to hear it worked BTW.
