Hi all. I tried to install KDE for testing accessibility with Orca. However, a friend of mine told me that the only icon that shows up is a hard drive, and it sits at this icon forever and won't load. What could be going wrong? Nothing on the forums shows information on this issue.
I can never remember the name of that thing, but I'm guessing that is simply a session choosing screen(?).
Have you tried asking him to [double]click on the icon? If that doesn't solve the "problem" then I don't know what will.
If i remember correctly during startup of KDE it shows 4 or 5 icons representing the stage of the it's startup. The first one is a hard drive icon, second has to do with adding devices i think. Hunter, if the icon you got is indeed that harddrive icon, something is worng with the setup of KDE. try creating a new testuser and start kde logged in as the testuser. If KDE also doesn't start for the new testuser, then something is wrong with the kde installation.
