I just upgraded to SuSE 8.2 from 8.1. Everything went well with the upgarde and I had KDE3.1 up and running (very nice indeed!). Well, I got adventurous and started messing around with the desktop colors, backgrounds and themes. When I saved the changes, I broke something and now I cannot get Kde to start. I get nice sigsev errors and a blank screen. I tried starting twm and several other window managers but no luck. I can log into another user and can get kde to start.

So it appears as if I have messed up something in my user configuration. Which file should I try to fix to get me back in business? I am assuming one of the dot files .Xauthority, .profile etc.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You could create a new user account then copy your important files to your new account. Delete your old account and re-name to your new one if you desire.


Hope it helps

What does the xf86config say? You could try to manually edit that.
