Hi, i'm running KDE 2.1.1 on Mandrake 7.2. Whenever i try to start up
a KDE program, the following error message occurs:

save location /home/alexcg/.kde/share/config/ doesn't exist
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = <unknown>
save location /home/alexcg/.kde/share/config/ doesn't exist

note this happens for every KDE program I've tried.

i'm using the packages:
kdelibs-2.1.1-1mdk
kdebase-2.1.1-1mdk

and glibc-2.2.2. Every version of KDE i've tried (1.99 - 2.1.1) since
upgrading from glibc-2.1 has produced the above error or segfaulted.

please please help! thanks in advance

To ask the obvious, does the directory exist?

Try maybe:

mkdir /home/alexcg/.kde/share/config/

Tried creating the directory before, no luck. ~/.kde was totally empty
before creating the directory. tried deleting the directory and trying
again but still no luck

....and how much space do you have in /tmp. Did you
delete everything to do with the user in /tmp?

May be worth renaming ~/.kde (and ~/.kde2) directory and trying to
login / startx again. I had some strange probs after a rebuild of SuSE
7.0 + KDE2 for users (root worked Ok) and cured it by making KDE
regenerate it's directories.

1. KDE 1.1.1 and RH5.2, KDE won't start

I just installed KDE 1.1.1, onto RH 5.2, ran the command
/opt/kde/bin/kdm_on, and then run telinit 3; telinit 5. What
happens is, I get the Red Hat login screen, enter my ID and Pass
(I happen to be using root's account) hit enter, the screen
flickers, then pauses, then goes back to the login screen. I
never get to kde. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going
on here?
