Hello all, I've searched high and low through the archives and on google to find a solution for my problem, but none of the suggested solutions worked. The problem I'm having is this: KDE will not start up properly. I get the initialization screen and it hangs on "initializing system settings." After letting it sit there for a while, I have to kill it with ctrl-alt-F1 and then zap all the lame kdeinit processes. The two error messages that always come up are "kio(KDirWatch):KDirWatch: Can't use fam!" and "KUniqueApplication:DCOP communication error!" I checked and portmapper is running (for fam), I have added "sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/fam fam" to inetd.conf and "sgi_fam 391002 # file alteration monitor" is in /etc/rpc. Yes, I did remember to hup inetd after adding the entry for fam, so it *should* be running. I have absolutely no idea what to do about the DCOP problems, though. Nothing seems to be working. If it matters, I'm run! ning XFree86 4.1.0_7 on 4.4-Stable. I know I'm not the only one to have experienced these problems in the last month and I suspect I won't be the last! Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me. Please cc me in the reply as I'm not currently subscribed to this list.
