Kstartupconfig4

From Mandriva Community Wiki

Code error: 3

If you get the get an error message stating: "Can not enter home directory. Using /." and then another message saying "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3, Check your installation" (the end of the message may be chopped off),

• a possible cause (specially if this happens for many users) is that your /home/ directory's permissions are wrong. All users should have read and "execute" (=enter) permission to that directory. As root, if all the users' primary group is, let's say, "class", then type:

[root@computer ~]# chmod g+rx /home

if there is no such group, then

[root@computer ~]# chmod a+rx /home

• Another possible cause (specially if this problem happens only for one user) is that your /home/username/.kde4 directory owner is wrong, username standing, of course, for your user name. In this case, in a terminal, launch the command:

[root@computer ~]# chown -R username /home/username/.kde4

(Don't forget to replace username by your user name.)
