Yesterday I did the same thing. I deleted everything in /tmp and /var/tmp because it was just too full. I also deleted the sym links in .kde for socket-computer cache-computer and tmp-computer. Then I restarted X and tried to log in, it kept failing at interprocess communications... I logged in as root, then out, then back in as me and everything worked great. Maybe it was a coincidence? Give it a shot. Nathan On Monday 03 January 2005 21:52, Fred Wright wrote: > At 12:35 PM 1/3/05, you wrote: > >At 12:37 AM 1/3/05, you wrote: > >>Am 02.
