From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: after a standard red hat 8.0 install i asked the package manager to add KDE. once done, i log out and try to launch KDE : says dcopserver doesn't read a file.. try rebooting, no change Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install red hat 8.0 default install 2. add kde using the package manager 3. try to log in KDE Actual Results: when trying to launch KDE after its install, a window appears and says : There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The error message.. Could not read network connection list, /home/gilb/.DCOPserver_glinux__0 Please check that dcopserver is running That dcopserver is running. It is active and running in the processes list. I launched it and it says "up and running". I also sent a kill -HUP signal. No change. The file doesn't seem to have the proper name. It says: .DCOPserver_glinux_NODISPLAY I tried renaming it .DCOPserver_glinux__0 but I still get the same error message. I rebooted. Tried again, no change. Cannot launch KDE... Expected Results: KDE should have launched. Additional info: The machine received a clean Red Hat 8.0 default install. After one week of use, i added KDE using the package manager, clicking on the "KDE" group stuff. After asking me for CD 2 and installing all KDE files (it seems) I loggued out and I can't log in onto KDE. Restarting doesn't correct this. I have also checked "services" thing but I see no dcopserver thingie there so it should be working per defautl and properly ;)
