(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: dcopserver Version: KDE 2.2.0 Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified I have a server and a X-Terminal. The server is running kde local. I am logged in with my userid on the server. The X-Terminal runs LTSP (get his kernel system X etc) from server and show KDM login screen from server. After login on X-Terminal with same user as on server I cannot start any DCOP using application on the server. Here is a example for kmail: DCOPClient::attachInternal.

If you are sure that it is not already running remove /home/tk/.DCOPserver_hecker_:0 and start dcopserver again. --------------------------------- tk@hecker: ~ > kmail DCOPClient::attachInternal.

Make sure that your startkde script does not contain anything that touches /tmp/.ICE-unix If it has, remove those parts.
I had a similar problem with KDE 3.0.3. And yes, removing the 3 lines, that modify /tmp/.ICE-unix from /usr/bin/startkde solved the problem. I also think this bug is a duplicate of 49169. Regs, Krzysztof Dubowik
