Complete KDE crash (was in debian-user before)
Hi,
I hope to get help from some advanced kde-user or developer:
I use sid with kernel 2.6.20 on an ASPIRE-Laptop, updated almost every day.
Since an update on 21.5 evening I can't use kde anymore! I discussed
this already on debian-user
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/05/msg03713.html), but we
came to the solution going to this list to ask more specialised kde
freaks:
Here the problem:
After logging in with kdm, the kde splash-screen comes up. When the
second icon begins to blink (the harddisc-icon) it takes very long
(~20s, normal was ~5s). Then it goes until the second last icon
(Preparing Workplace?), there it pauses again for 10s. Then after kde
is started I have my background image without desktop icons, and at
the bottom a grey bar, where normally the K-taskbar is. I have a
moveable mousecursor, but can't do anything. I have to CTRL-ALT-BSPC
to come out.
I worked on with help of debian-user, this we have checked/tried:
Creating a new user with a virgin .kde directory and logging in as that user.
->The same problem
I did
aptitude -F '%p%?v' search '~i~dkde' | awk '/4:3.5.7/ {print $1,$2}'
to see if the upgrade to 3.5.7 has worked on all packages. The only
3.5.6 packages are:
kde-i18n-de 4:3.5.6-1
ksync 4:3.5.6.dfsg.1-2
Then I did:
invoke-rc.d kdm stop
aptitude update
aptitude dist-upgrade
invoke-rc.d kdm start
and a reboot, but no help.
~/xsession-errors shows just this:
startkde: Starting up...
kbuildsycoca running...
Then after shutting down kdm and X I did:
dpkg --force-depends --purge kdelibs4c2a kdelibs-data menu-xdg xbase-clients
aptitude install kdelibs4c2a kdelibs-data menu-xdg xbase-clients
and rebootet, but allmost the same. The only difference is that
~/.xsession-errors showed a lot of warnings the first I tried to load
kde after the new installation:
Xsession: X session started for kristian at Fr 25. Mai 13:47:43 CEST 2007
startkde: Starting up...

I checked Xorg.0.log after logging in then:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
just some warnings about missed fonts
and
tail -fn0 /var/log/syslog
nothing.
So, here are we now with a try at debian-kde.
The strange for me is that it seems no one else has this failure. So
it should not have to do with the kde packages. Maybe with a
combination af packages which do not fit together perfectly?
Thanks,
Kristian
