I have a dedicated Linux server running under Fedora 3. I am a
beginner with Linux and I would like to use the complete Fedora core
distribution. (GUI with KDE). But because I have not installed the OS
myself, I have only a minimal installation (command line).
I managed to install KDE by running
yum -y groupinstall KDE
When I try to to start KDE, I enter
startx
but I obtain an error message.

XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
It seems that there is no configuration on my server.
From what I read, FC3 does not use XFree86 for configuration but xorg.
It seems that there is no file for configuration on my server. (xorg or Xfree86)
I think I can t start KDE because of the missing files (config files)
I am contact the server using ssh from Windows XP with Putty.
Please help. (I need details explanations as I am beginning with Linux
commands and processes). |
