another HD install problem

[chameleon1959]

I tried the first option of a debian type install and I received the error message;
"...check DCOP service is running"-when KDE tried to start up.
What is this DCOP and how do I get around the error?

I have now installed with option 2-a knoppix install;
This works but I only have the option of KDE.
I read that with this install options/settings would not be saved on reboot-but they are-so I am a bit confused there??

What about option 3-a beginner install-does that give all options?

I would reccomend the Debian install.... the Beginner install is the next best thing


This is a stab in the dark but I think you DCOP error is probably a permissions problem..try this:

***** FOR THE PURPOSE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL WILL _ASSUME_ YOUR NORMAL USER NAME IS: chameleon *********
***** Please user your real normal user name in its place *********

Boot the system in Text Mode (Runlevel 2 ( "2" cheatcode)).. login as root.

issue the following commands:

chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix
chown root:root /tmp/.X11-unix
chmod 777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
chmod 777 /tmp/.X11-unix

chown -R chameleon:chameleon /home/chameleon

Sometimes all the permission do not get set correctly by the installer.

Take Care,
