Hi guys..
Finally found the file..
The .xession-errors had a size of over 200GB..
Really weird error. I have no idea what caused this.

Hi guys,
When booting i get the error "no space left on disk".
I can't even boot into my KDE anymore.
Booting always stops in CONSOLE mode.

The problem is, I have no idea why the disk is full..
Before the problem occured I had about 100gb of free disk space.

I booted from a live CD a searched ...

Hi,
when running KDE as root all USB drives get detected and listed in dolphin
However when running as non-root USB devices are not listed in dolphin even though they are shown in /dev.

Any idea how to make USB devices get "auto mounted" as non-root user?

I'm running a new KDE 4.4 on my system..
Everything works fine except for one feature.

I can't drag files on my desktop + all files in my folder "Desktop" don't show up on the desktop.

Any ideas whats wrong?
Or is this the default behaviour of KDE.
Previously I used Gnome.

Ok guys found the solution somewhere else...
It seems to be some kind of bug in KDE

Here it is:


Open the file /home/<YOUR HOME FOLDER>/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc and set DisableChecks=true
You can enable it there as well righ away Enabled=true

When you enabled it in the file, restart X-Server ...

It looks like the file size has changed. That means that the source tarball has changed since the ebuild was last updated. If there isn't already a gentoo bug about this, you should probably file one. Note, however, that due to issues with the Truecypt license, the ebuild maintainers may not want ...

The error message you're getting really indicates that the ebuild can't find the file it expects in /usr/portage/distifles. What is the output of "ls -l /usr/portage/distfiles/truecrypt-6.3a.tar.gz"?

Maybe it's a permission problem, or perhaps the file is corrupt or the wrong version (ie. x86 vs ...

- Did you download version 6.3a, which is under "Previous Releases" -- not the current version?
- Did you download the .tar.gz version?
- Did you rename the file to "truecrypt-6.3a.tar.gz" and put it in "/usr/portage/distfiles"?


Yes, did all of the above..
The result is the output posted.

/usr/bin/X belongs to x11-base/xorg-server , so you should (re)install that package.

Best regards,

OK THX :-)
The xorg-server wasn't installed.
I assumed that KDE installs everything needed for a window system.
I guess I was wrong :-)

Right now I'm configuring xorg according to: http ...

/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 1: /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 1: exec: /usr/bin/X: cannot execute: No such file or directory giving up.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. Does the mentioned file exist?

Best regards,
Jimini


No, the file doesn't exist
