KDE2 crashes while starting
Support knowledgebase (kde2_dcop)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 8.0
KDE2
Symptom:
You want to log in KDE2 as user, but it fails because of a DCOP error.
As user root as the case may be it works.
Cause:
KDE2 creates so called sockets for the interprocess communication while starting. Therefore space on the hard drive is neccessary.
If the system is busy with more than
95%, only the user root is able to create files.
Consequently the login fails.
Solution:
Please check, if there is enough space on your hard drive
:
df -h
and delete all files in your home directory that are not neccessary.
(You are able to log in via a text console).
