Re: DCOPServer could not be started

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!
