问题：Is anyone else having a problem starting the DCOP Server? While the KDE Splash Screen is flashing the, "Setting up interprocess communication" icon, I look at the Cygwin bash window that I type "startx" from, and see: kdeinit: Launched DCOPServer, pid = 562 result = 0 _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root iceauth: creating new authority file /cygdrive/c/.ICEauthority DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket DCOPServer self-test failed. kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting. kdeinit: launch -> dcopserver --nosid This repeats 2 more times, then the X window shows a dialog that says, "There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /cygwin/c/.DCOPserver__-0. Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!". Click on OK, and the X window shuts down. I can start X with another window manager, but I can't run most KDE applications (Konsole fights with this problem, but then starts up, anyway). Thanks for any help, - Andy 解决方案： The solution is to change the hostname in the next FILES: /etc/hostname /etc/hosts /etc/mailname /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig The hostname can't contain special symbols, like space,.... 补充：本人也遇到这个问题，查看/etc/hosts文件发现hostname与ip对应有错误，修改后重启系统，问题解决！
