Well if removing the cache directories in your home folder doesn't fix the problem, like it was on my machine, you also have to delete the /var/tmp/kdecache-<username> folder. It will also remove any modifications like added panels, icons added to the panel and so on. I will dig further into that issue to see which files and/or directories are exactly causing the issue.
Yep, Same issue here, any ideas on how to make the fix permanent?
So it's not working definitely throught what I've seen
my 32bit version is working just fine on my 1215n Asus. I do to much customisation to redo the same again. so I will wait the R1 to reinstall the 64 bits version.
If you're doing an installation, use the fix on page 1 to startx. Then install, reboot, login as root, and at the command prompt:Quote:

Hi all, i had the "startx" problem and found that this worked for me
where you would normally type "startx" type this first:
cd /root/.kde/ press enter then type this:
find . -type f -iname "*.kcache" -delete now type:
startx
this worked for me and i then installed backtrack and upon restart i had the "startx" problem again, i put in these commands again and now it's working fine every time i reboot, hope this helps as it has me
:cool:

I have an HP Pavillion dv6 Laptop. I've have been trying all the fixes on this thread tirelessly with no results. After I do all the commands and startx, I only see the first loading icon light up and then it goes to a black screen with the mouse pointer in the middle. I'm using the live CD, I cant even start to install BT :(
I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu running right now. Any additional help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
I ran into the "inappropriate ioctl for device" error and this fix worked for me. I was lost at first, but a quick search in the forums lead me to this thread. A definite thanks for the fix!
