Re: DCOPServer could not be started

I use kde that is installed with RedHat 7.3 and I had the same problem. IT was because my path was screwed up. I needed to add /usr/X11R6/bin.

I had the same problem but I came across a very simple solution. Just run the command "enter (yourhostname)" where yourhostname is your computer's name, the one you put in the /etc/hostname.

There's no the command "enter" at all!
That doesn't work to me!

One of my users had the same problem after he tried to append to his PATH in .cshrc (his default shell). Apparently, he overwrote the default path rather then appending to it. When the user login, DCOPserver is run which then runs `iceauth' using the user's PATH. The path to `iceauth' is /usr/X11R6/bin, which was not in the user's PATH statement, hence the DCOPserver error. After he corrected his PATH statement, it fixed the DCOPserver issue.

Another fix to this problem, at least in my situation, was my home directory did not have group and global write access. Changing it over to 777 fixed the DCOPserver problem along with a slew of other problems

Hy i discovered this thread in an effort to get my kanotix_2005_04 working. i've just installed it on my machine and DCOPserver keeps throwing kde inter-process communication failure on root and on my user. I am able to login but under a second WM provided IceWM(i guess) but this error pops up every time i press smth related to kde (e.g: running kde applications). Where is the problem and how can I solve it -i've hured it might be related to ICEauthority but i am new to linux and don't know anything about cli or commands or getting to that dir from cli etc. Please can u give me an answer and eventually write down some steps to accomplish this.Thank you,
Ford.

My solution to the problem was found on another post... it wasnt permissions or the chsrc file... I had to reinstall kdelibs (I just installed all available from my repositories) this cleared it right up... hope this helps someone!
