Error Kdesktop

Hi All,

I am super new to Linux and Kbuntu. I loaded Kbuntu on my PC and when I boot up, I get the following error message:
Error KDesktop
The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.

Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Thx

RE: Error Kdesktop

I think that's a common problem for slower computers. Do you happen to have a slow CPU (<1 GHz)?

Anyway, it's not really something to worry about, except it may be a bit annoying.

Not that kind of solution i'd like to hear ...

On my VIA 600 MHz Client this message appears at every start ... and after "OK" a second error "The process for the media protocol died unexpectedly" waits for interaction.

I have found the reason in my case:
In the control center under Appearance -> Background -> Slide show were huge photos ... after changing it to a standard wallpaper the error didn't appear anymore

RE: Error Kdesktop

JUST THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!

I have an Asus P2B, 400 Mhz PII, 256mb RAM, available for me to load ... whatever. The video board is a Matrox Millenium G200, and often is a problem for other OS'es to properly identify.

Imagine my glee when Kubuntu 7.04 correctly put everything together to provide me an absolutely wonderful stable desktop. FreeBSD 6.2, Solaris 10 and Fedora 6 all failed identically in this area. HUGE KUDOS to all of you Kubuntu install developers!!!

So the first thing I did was customize my desktop, a VERY large picture of the US Air Force Thunderbirds in a fly by formation.

Next boot -- a KDesktop error message with "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly." After a bit of googling, I read your message. I changed the desktop image to "Default Blue" and rebooted. The error message is gone.

Thanks bobosh and KDE-Forums!
