DCOP/KDE IPC error
After installing the vncserver package, and running it several times, both
as root and as myself, I'm now getting this error when logging into KDE.
The startup screen shows "Setting up IPC..." and then displays the following
message.
'There was some error setting up inter-process communication for KDE. The
message returned by the system was:'
'Could not read the network connection list.
/home/entropy/DCOPserver_<hostname>_:0'
'Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!'
I can still login as root and browse, but I'm completely stumped as to why
this is happening.
A bug filed against the VNC server package hints at permissions being munged
after running it *before* KDE, but that isn't the case with me.
I'm sorry I don't have more information. I've tried removing the files
related to the user from /tmp to no avail, as well as the .DCOP* files in
the users home dir. I can start the dcopserver from the command line, but
this doesn't seem to affect logging in through KDM.
I'm running unstable, and have had no problems till I ran the vncserver.
Again, my apologies if this is not much. Any help is appreciated.
