KDM/X crashes intermittenly on exit
I've been trying to pin this down a little better, but it's intermittent
nature makes it hard to draw any conclusions. Running Sarge with the latest
KDE (3.3.2) and X (4.3.0.dfsg.1-10). 90% of the time kdm works fine, logging
in and logging out. the other 10% of the time when logging out, instead of
kdm coming back to the login screen, X shuts down and I'm returned to the F1
console. kdm can be restarted and works fine, eventually repeating the error.
The XFree log shows only:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
no errors or warnings prior to that. kdm log contains the following:
kdm: :0[10797]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay
Feb 10 18:38:11 lindev kdm[15694]: Display :0 cannot be opened
Feb 10 18:38:11 lindev kdm[15694]: Unable to fire up local display :0;
disabled
In the course of the last 10 hours I logged on and off 6 times, the first 5
times went normally, the 6th time the problem appeared. I might be days
before it reoccurs, or it might be the next time I log off. Not sure if it's
a kdm or an X issue, but I *think* it appeared with the last update of kdm.
