apt-getting KDE 2.1 breaks startx
I recently installed Debian potato and apt-getted helix-gnome.
Everything was working fine.
Since I heard about KDE 2.1, and I prefer to use KDE, I did:
apt-get install kdebase task-kde
from
deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato main crypto optional qt1apps
The install worked fine, but now when I type
startx
it starts up, and then immediately returns to a $ prompt.
I can't find an error log anywhere. Nothing.
I didn't even set KDE to be my default window manager.
Without an error log, I don't have a clue how to fix this.
If I run vncserver, and connect from my windoze box, KDE appears, but a crash dialog is evident, so clicking on any icon does
nothing.
If someone could provide an idea of how to fix this, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
