kde init could not launch /usr/bin/console

...this message is given if one tries to run more than one Konsole terminal.

Cannot recognize mplayer...
USB rom not appearing in dolphin.....

... how are these two problems related to the topic title ?

One problem can lead to another?

The error message appears when I call up a single terminal.

I get that message if I try to run more than one Konsole, but yes it's
a bug. I take it that Konsole starts anyway, after you've cleared the message ?

Are you running 32 or 64-bit ?

The mPlayer problem - does it simply refuse to start from the Application Launcher menu ?

Do you have 'hal' in your rc.conf daemons ?

Here's a possible fix to the error that produces the "kde-init could not launch ..." message.

For konsole (and other apps that may be acting this way), go to /usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop, and edit (or, if necessary, add) this line:

X-DBUS-StartupType=none

I found this fix here. It worked for me.

running 64 bit and hal is in daemons. Mplayer does not come up in desktop root. Smplayer reports mplayer not present. May be missing libgssapi.so.2 but wonder why it would be missing. It is not in my lib file.

Dhave;

That removed the error...thanks.

Additional info:

bash-3.2# mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libgssapi.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bash-3.2#

No sign of the library item.

/usr/lib/libgssapi.so.2 is owned by the heimdal package. Do you have it installed?

Many thanks for the solution...I re-installed and all is well!

Hm, is that the proper way to do it? On the linked website some people talk about a "dirty workaround". I wonder whether there is a purpose behind the "unique/single instance" X-DBUS-StartupType. Should I be worried? What do people think?
