Trying to log into the console of my two SL5.0 machines this afternoon, I
had the unwelcome surprise of having both of them tell me that my KDE
session "lasted less than 10 seconds" with no obvious errors in the
~/.xsession-errors file:
/usr/bin/startkde: Success
Checking my root email, I find that there seems to have been an error
updating KDE, although yum thinks it updated just fine. I'll paste the
email below.
When I go to check /usr/bin/startkde, I find:
[root@zim]# ls -l /usr/bin/startkde
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 14 04:55 /usr/bin/startkde
So no wonder KDE won't start. Has anyone else found this error? And, of
course, how do I re-install this package without losing users' desktops
(i.e. without uninstalling first)? There doesn't seem to be a way to try a
"yum -force install"
Much thanks,
-Dave
