KDE freezes on "initializing peripherals"
Hey all,
I've installed KDE on my debian box (via apt-get) and when I fire it up it seems
to work fine until I it gets to "initializing perihperals" at which point it
freezes - and takes console with it. Nothing can be done at console.
ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't kill X, virtual consoles can't be used. I CAN ssh in,
but killing X doesn't bring back console - the KDE start up screen stays until a
reboot is done.
Interestingly enough prior to getting to "initializing perihperals" I can use my
mouse just fine. If I set KDE to startup at boot I can use my mouse and type in
my password just fine (implying both mouse and keyboard are configured correctly
in XF86Config) - but after logging in, when it gets to "initializing
perihperals" it again freezes.
Another note: I can launch X and twm and it works fine - it's just KDE that has
a problem. The logs aren't very helpful here:
$ tail -25 XFree86.0.log

And I'm using testing, which has KDE 2.2.2:
$ dpkg -l | grep kde
ii kde 2.2.24 The K Desktop Environment
ii kdebase 2.2.2-14 KDE core applications
ii kdebase-audiol 2.2.2-14 KDE audio libraries amd modules for kdebase
ii kdebase-doc 2.2.2-14 Documentation for Applications in kdebase
ii kdebase-libs 2.2.2-14 KDE libraries and modules for kdebase
ii kdelibs3 2.2.2-13 KDE core libraries (runtime files)
ii kdelibs3-bin 2.2.2-13 KDE core binaries (binary files)
ii kdepasswd 2.2.2-9 A Password changer frontend for KDE
ii kdewallpapers 2.2.2-14 Some wallpapers for KDE
ii libkdenetwork1 2.2.2-14 Common libraries needed for KDE network appl
Laslty I asked this question on the KDE list over at kde.org and was told by a
few who couldn't not figure it out that I might have better luck over here...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
