Help: $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connected to the X server
Hello, I met with a problem that when I tried to start my KDE the screen would display this error message:
$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connected to the X server.
And I also have a Xfce4 desktop, and it can be started normally. I've searched this problem on google but not get any solution, so is there anyone who can help me? Thanks.

Re: Help: $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connected to the X server
c3kay, that is a very old thread - there was no real solution there and what was discussed is no longer applicable in arch (rc.conf).
Sush, how do you start X? Do you us a display manager, or startx? If a DM, which one? If startx/xinit, what is in your ~/.xinitrc?
