 |
|
Hi,
I just emerged kde 3.0.2, but which further steps
are necessary for a complete installation in order to
get it running?
I found x86config and configured to my best knowledge.
Then I enter startx and two graphic terminals open.
In Midnight-Commander I run the script kde-3.0.2 then
I see the startup-screen. After 5 Minutes in the terminal
I can read:
Xlib: extension GLX missing on Display ":0.0"
Kwin: it looks like there's already a wm running, kwin not started
2 further minutes later KDE starts.
How can I avoid this delay? Do I have to install "GLX" ???
Best regards and many thanks!

Hi,
I just thought I would notify you and others who may read this thread that this problem has happened on my computer also, I dont know why. I tried to look at a different distro to see if there was anything to do but couldnt spot it. I have GLX problems and the same error messages.
I would appreciate any help

If you do startx, you are already starting a session with a window manager and all. You need to do one of these things:
- instead of doing startx, login as root and do /usr/kde/3/bin/kdm to start up kdm. Then choose the session type of kde-3.0.x and login.
- enable kdm in your start up scripts as described in the "Desktop Configuration Guide"
or
- put something like this in your user .xinitrc file in your home directory and then do 'startx' as a user (not root). This does not log in through kdm.
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
# kdesetup installs .kde and Desktop directories, if absent.
# Only run kdesetup if it exists (for compatibility of this .Xclients
# script with older versions of KDE)
if [ -f $KDEDIR/bin/kdesetup ] ; then
$KDEDIR/bin/kdesetup
fi
# clean up old kde /tmp files that belong to the user
for file in /tmp/kfm_* /tmp/kio* ; do
if [ -O $file ] ; then
rm -fr $file
fi
done
# add any local customizations here, before the startkde script runs.
# the following line allows another user (or root) logged in in an xterm
# running in your X session to use the X display (to run emacs, for example).
# You can delete or comment it out if you do not want this.
xhost + localhost
$KDEDIR/bin/startkde

Hi,
I ran kdm and selected kde-3.0.2 as session.
Then I see the KDE-Startup image with the blinking
steps. When I click on the startup-image, it hides away.
After 5 Minutes of waiting (top says 99% CPU idle!) and
no HDD-Activity KDE finally appears.
So there is somewhere an initialization with a long long timeout.
But what can that be? I try to run this KDE on a dual p3-1000
with 1.5 GB RAM and supermicro Mainboard with Hardware-Raid.
Bootup can't be that slow on such a system, I hope 
Over and above when KDE is finally there and I click on "home"
(Konqueror opens) the open of Konqueror takes exactly 3 Minutes!
Thanks for your help and best wishes!
