Well, I went to a newer nvidia driver, 1.0-5336
(NVIDIA-Linux-ia64-1.0-5336-pkg1.run there was also a "pkg0"
version in the ftp archive, but I guess that was an oops)
Now X starts but KDE will not run
(II) Initializing extension GLX
startkde: Starting up...
/usr/X11R6/bin/kde: line 143: 14986 Segmentation fault kreadconfig --file
kpersonalizerrc --group General --key FirstLogin --default true --type
bool
_X11TransOpen: Unable to find transport for local
ksplash: cannot connect to X server :0
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
ksmserver: cannot connect to X server :0
startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
startkde: Done.
I think that the _X11TransOpen failure is the key one but I
don't understand what it means precisely. There were
messages during boot up about "no response from
localhost" Does that mean that some demon is not running??
I can ping localhost and a lot of others. Also, ftp to nvidia and
apt-get to debian have worked fine.
