Hi all
I have big problem after installing UPP upp_2008.1_i386.deb on fedora dist.
The display manager doesn't run any more.
I first install upp just by uncompress archive from the kde desktop and file manager.
Ran TheIde but abort the config dialog boxe that set the environment installation. That, because I realized I was working as root and wanted to change to user log.
When closed session, KDE ended and system went rouggly on command line state. Since this time it's impossible to get KDE or launch any graphic application.
Surely made stupid things but so newbie with Linux, that's it...
Before writing here, read so many forums & sites...
So, can someone say which files upp modify on the system at first running? If it does...
I would like to uninstall upp. How do it? Just delete files ? Which one ?
