Bug#555474: /usr/bin/kdeinit4: Login fails with kdeinit4 fatal IO error
Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:4.3.2-2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/kdeinit4
I have been unable to login to my KDE desktop for several weeks now.
On attempting to login, I get the hard drive icon displayed, then the
next three icons begin to fade into view, then I am abruptly kicked
back to the KDM login screen.
I can login to a fluxbox or gnome desktop, but I would like to get
back to using KDE.
After a failed attempt to login to KDE I am unable to switch to a
virtual text console (eg. with ctrl-alt-f2). In fact attempting to do
so will cause the keyboard and mouse to freeze up and I have to
restart the machine. Switching to a text console *before* a failed
login attempt works fine.
I have tried deleting my .kde directory, but that did not help. My X
server is using the openchrome driver on a VIA Technologies, Inc.
K8M800/K8N800/K8N800A [S3 UniChrome Pro] adapter.
I don't know if this is really a bug in kdeinit4, but that's where the
crash is occurring.
An example .xsession-errors report is included below.
