(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: dcopserver Version: KDE 2.2.2 Severity: normal Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Debian sid all packages are up to date updated from ftp.de.debian.org I started a pure X server only with an xterminal running on it. I typed the startkde command and I got this output: boti:~$ startkde DCOPServer self-test failed. kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started aborting. /usr/bin/kde2: line 102: 22113 Segmentation fault ksmserver --restore connect() failed: : Connection refused The command dcopserver returned with: DCOPServer self-test failed. The command dcopserver --nofork got segfault. I straced the docserver (w/o any argument) and its child go segfault too. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
Could it be that you have multiple KDE versions installed or that you have a path to an old KDE installation in your /etc/ld.so.conf? Does ldd /path/to/dcopserver yield any errors about missing libraries?
No feedback from user, assumed to be an installation problem.
