Hello,

I installed kde4 fowolling the instructions but I can't start it.

My question is how to start kde4 with my debian and how to insert it in
kdm menu.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Aleksandar Vasilev

Unfortunately "yum remove" and "yum install" are not mutually inverse.
You could try

yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

This sounds very similar (in result, at least) to the problem I posted
on the 19th. I still haven't found a resolution:


"I've been using KDE - and I guess it was KDE that started up when I
first logged in this morning. It's tough to tell, of course, because
the window manager option on the login screen is no longer there (can I
get that back somehow?). I tried a number of things within KDE to see
if I could resize the display properly - Desktop Resize and Rotate
looked like it might help, in that it actually *had* an option for the
proper resolution (though it didn't do anything). But then I selected
something like "Compiz Manager". I was told to restart the X server,
which I did - and now after logging in all I get is a white screen.. I
can get to a console session, but if I try to restart the X session I
get the white screen again (or worse, a black screen, in which I can
type but nothing happens). There seems to be a compiz process still
running, and hogging lots of CPU.


I can get to a gnome session only by restarting X to get to the login
screen and selecting "other" for username - then I enter my
username/password as usual. From here, trying to change the default
desktop (using switchdesk) doesn't help - I still get the white screen
if I select my username at the login screen.


Clearly, there should be some basic switch I can flip in a config file
somewhere, but I don't know what it is. How can I get my KDE back?

~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc

Disable the desktop compositing (don't worry about the long list of
individual effects, you just want to find something with enabled=true
and change it to false. Can verify the exact section and option later
if I remember (I'm not at an f9 machine right now, sorry).

I don't see anything that matches what you're saying. The file itself
is small; here it is:

Name_3=
Name_4=

Thanks!

If enabled, kwinrc contains:
[Compositing]
Enabled=true

So it looks like you switched to Compiz and that isn't working properly.

If you used the Compiz Switcher which is part of compiz-kde, you should have a
file called .kde/env/kdewm.sh in your home directory. Remove that file and you
should end up with KWin running again.

If that doesn't work or if you didn't have that file in the first place, create
that ~/.kde/env/kdewm.sh file and write this into it:
KDEWM=kwin
export KDEWM

The file was there; I moved it out of the way and KDE now works. Thank you!
