Re: DCOPServer could not be started
by Jav on Tuesday 04/Feb/2003, @14:55

One of my users recently switched to a tcsh default shell and the default .cshrc that comes with RH 7.3 does not include the /usr/X11R6/bin path in the $PATH env variable. I had to add to their path.

Note: the deafult .cshrc that comes with RH 7.3 overwrites the $PATH env variable, It was very frustrating to figure this one out. especially since I checked the default rc's and .logins to make sure the paths were there.

Non-root users could not log in to the RedHat 7.3 console with KDE.

SOLUTION: Modify /usr/bin/startkde. Basically, /usr/bin/startkde
could not find certain applications which exist in /usr/bin/X11.
So, add it to the path in the script.

Put these lines in to /usr/bin/startkde:

# Modification
#
PATH=/usr/bin/X11:$PATH
export PATH
#

This worked for me too.

I have a RedHat 7 system that has been running for almost 2 years, and suddenly on reboot, it throws this error.

adding the PATH statement solved the problem:

Put these lines in to /usr/bin/startkde:

# Modification
#
PATH=/usr/bin/X11:$PATH
export PATH
#

Thank you for the assistance!

I am facing the same problem!
But all above mentions do not work for me at all!
Not can I do anything without KDE!
Please - any suggestions or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Mavis

Adding the path for Redhat 7.3 fixed my problem, too.
