Back up your existing ~/.xinitrc
file
and create a new .xinitrc
file to start
KDE:
echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
If you have D-BUS-1.0.2 installed, you can start the D-BUS session daemon here as well. Starting the session daemon here has the added bonus that it will exit when you log out of your KDE session. If you wish to start the daemon here, use the following command instead of the one shown above:
echo "exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde" >> ~/.xinitrc
Check the ~/.xinitrc
file and ensure
you have no other window managers or other X applications mentioned before KDE.
If you installed the desktop-file-utils-0.13 package, ensure
the XDG_DATA_DIRS
and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
environment variables are configured
properly as explained in that package and update the MIME-type
application database (as root
):
update-desktop-database
Ensure all libraries can be found with (as root
):
ldconfig
At this point you can bring up KDE with:
startx
