No boot after update - KDE problem -Not Nvidia

[Neal ManBear]

I think he is talking about the icons you see as kde loads up post login. One of them is a globe.     

..... I´m sure I need to connect to the ¨Mirrors¨ via my mobile broadband but I don´t know to get it to work from a non GUI console.....

     
First, if you would split your posts into sentences, rather than using a multi-thought phrase, it would go a long way toward our being able to understand what you are trying to say.
I dug the above phrase out of your post and will try to respond to what it seems to me you are saying ---     
Connect to ¨Mirrors¨ -- by this I suppose you mean connect to a mirror of the PCLinuxOS repository. I hope you do not mean that you had enabled more than one of the mirrors. That is a path to disaster. Is that what you did?     
I don´t know to get it to work from a non GUI console -- it works the same way. Synaptic (the GUI package manager) is just a front end to apt4rpm, i.e. the apt-get commands. The preferred method is to use Synaptic, but when you can not, the commands used in a console will do the job.     

So now we're past that, please provide some information ---     
Which version of PCLinuxOS do you have installed?
Is it fully up to date?     
If it is a 2010 ISO, did you install and run aptupgrade?     
What video card and driver are you using?

G'Day Again
Sorry about the confusion, I just seem to be running around in  circles.
I had an up to date 2010.12 KDE version that had been aptupgraded before the RPM change.
Am running a GeForce GT220 Card with 1GB DDR2.
Not sure how to identify the driver.
Yes you are right- the 3rd icon to display after logging in is a Globe/World.

Thanks!

I'm not the kde expert here, so you may want to wait for other replies. See replies #9, #13 and #22 for instructions.

Hello,

after several attempts to rectify the situation it suddenly worked again. Although now I've run in to a completely different but related problem.
KDE wont start for my users except for the root.

Does anybody know how to tackle this one?

 I'll probably create a new thread if no-one replies.

Thanks.

Ok, I solved it.
It seems I ran out of harddisk space on my system partition.
I allways thought 30 Gb would last me a lifetime with linux. Guess it doesn't.
Weirdly enough that meant I could only boot as root.

Now i have to find out what I can safely remove to free up space.
I already removed downloaded packages, logs and tmp directory (more than 5 Gigs).

Run bleachbit and bleachbit-root.

I will definitely try it.
