Can't reproduce. The problem sounds highly related with some specific setup in your system. Please try doing some bisect by commenting parts of the file to isolate and identify the problematic part ( should be the $PATH line, I guess) and the problematic element in that line . I made the following change to path.sh, placed it in /home/rob/.kde/env and sourced $HOME/.kde/env/path.sh instead of $HOME/.kde_old/env/path.sh in my .bashrc so ssh, konsole, and cron would have the paths and environment: # Adding rcss directories so all machines in rcss have access to the same settings: |...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7.]..+....8....+....9....+...10....+...11....+...12....+...13....+...14....+...15....+...16....+...17....+...18....+...19....+...20. 00007 #export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:"$HOME"/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex:/usr/local/share/rcss" 00008 export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/share/rcss:"$HOME"/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex" The problem has gone away. I simply moved /usr/local/share/rcss in front of the $HOME/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex directory. After moving from LM 14 KDE to LM 15 KDE I had to copy /usr/local/share/rcss from 14's root to 15's root as the upgrade package had no way of knowing I was using /usr/local/share. It is difficult for me to see how changing the order of assignments in the export PATH statement would enable me to now see the login screen. I wonder if something else got updated/fixed/or changed. Anyway thank you for your help and suggestion. I guess that fixed the problem or someone fixed something somewhere else. I have learned my lesson about relying on just using /usr/local/... and now also use Dropbox to have machines keep current and share common routines.

Created attachment 82021 [details] Simple export commands in path.sh This worked fine in Linux Mint 14 KDE (64 bit), but prevents me from even logging in to Linux Mint 15 KDE (64 bit). If I put the file in say ~/.kde_old/env/path.sh instead and source it in my .bashrc as such I have a workaround. I can then login and my desired path is again set as it was in Linux Mint 14 KDE. I think the error may be in /usr/bin/startkde. I have a workaround, but the system is not working as documented and may cause others problems.
