When X starts up everything works fine but w= hen it starts to load KDE it tells me: The following instalation problem was=20 detected while trying to start KDE: No write access to=20 /home/knoppix/.ICEauthority So I sat there scratching my head. What in the world do you do in this ca= se? Well this a dandy thing to have happened. So I tried some other progr= am managers. Everything else runs but 'K' apps. When I try to run 'K' app= s I get the following error: kdeinit: aborting. No write access to=20 /home/knoppix/.ICEauthority=20 Error: KUniqueApplication: Can't setup DCOP communication. You know, I look at this and know how to change write access. But what ab= out this 'DCOP' thing> :-)Mike(-: This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spa= m or viruses.
