This is a KDE issue. Your default GUI must be KDE and it's either not installed correctly or some other problem has occurred.

In theory, if you can log in and run "startx" from your non-GUI window, you should get some errors, explaining what the problem is.

Failing that, try Gnome as they look and work the same on Red Hat anyway.

I cannot reinstall entire OS. This is a critical system

Yes, you should be able to re-install only KDE. It should be somewhere in your red-hat software install procedure, whatever that is nowadays.

hi,

there is chance to solve it without reinstall

give 777 permission on /tmp/.ICE-unix directory

and also check permission on files in $HOME/.kde , they schould be

userXX:groupXX

if not fix it by:

chown -R userXX:groupXX /home/user/.kde

hope this will help you
