Re: [Sheflug] KDE DcopServer Problems

[James Wallbank <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Alan,

DCOPserver problems are our speciality! We had loads of DCOPserver 
errors using Mandrake 7.2 at Access Space. We solved them by 
upgrading to Mandrake 8.0, but in fact you *can* get a 7.2 patch from 
mandrake.com or kde.org as I remember.

What distro are you using?

Are you installing KDE on top of an existing distro, or is it bundled 
in with the distro on a fresh install?

Are you trying to connect to a remote server when you start KDE, or 
is yours a standalone machine?

Will try to help more when I know more.

Cheers,

James
