    KDE 4 is still under development. It isn't schedule for release until October 2007.

        Hi Rick I am glad you got this working.

        I still seem to have a few problems.

        I followed the instructions here:
        http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta1.php

        But KDE4 doesn't even show up in the sessions menu as a choice.

        Any ideas?

        Cheers

          I did it like this:

          Code:
          sudo cp /usr/lib/kde4/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop
          alt + f2 : kdesu kate /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop

          change:
          Name=KDE -> Name=KDE4

          insert:
          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib
          export KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kde4
          export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH
          export KDEHOME=~/.kde4

          so top of kde4.desktop:
          [Desktop Entry]
          Encoding=UTF-8
          Type=XSession
          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib
          export KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kde4
          export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH
          export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
          Exec=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde
          TryExec=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde
          Name=KDE4
          Name[hi]=केडीई
          .
          .
          .

          After this: boot (restarting x didn't help)
          And there was KDE4 session
          Before you edit, BACKUP !

          Why there are dead links ?

            Thankx rog: Now I get a kde4 choice in the sessions menu but when chosen it starts up back to the login screen.

            Do delete the export files from:
            /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde?

            I don't have a /home/myuser/.kde4/share/config/startupconfig file I only have a startupconfigkeys file and what do mean by copy to...?

            Thank you for any help.

              Re: Kde 4 not starting with config error

              on initializing kde4 search the file named startupconfig but does't exist, you can solve this with a simple copy:

              cp startupconfigkey startupconfig

              and then restart kde4

                    Navigate to the folder:
                    /home/myuser/.kde4/share/config/
                    open a terminal in this folder:
                    Right click inside the folder->actions->open terminal.

                    do: (copy & paste if you'r lazy )

                    Code:
                    cp startupconfigkey startupconfig
                    exit terminal then log out and log in with kde4

                      Tip: in Konqueror, just hit F4 to open a Konsole instance in the present directory.

                          Ok I tried what you said "cp startupconfigkey startupconfig" but I get the following error:

                          cp: cannot stat `startupconfigkey': No such file or directory

                          Any thoughts?
