kwin 4:3.2.1-1 does not start kde
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi. I apologize for bad formatting. My left arm is in a brace, so is
very hard to type.
I use debian unstable on a athlon xp 2600 with 512mb of ram. I have
linux kernel 2.4.25 installed.
I recently upgraded kde, but did not restart - later, I don't know
precisely when, X crashed for unrelated reasons, so I had to restart.
~From then on, if I use gdm, kdm or startx, kwin freezes partway while
starting up and does not start kde. I wind up with a blank unusable
desktop. no right/left/middle clicks with mouse or keyboard keys have
any effect. (besides alt-ctrl-backspace/plus/minus/Function keys which
work as usual)
a previous version of kwin, Version: 4:3.1.5-2 DOES work, and is how I
wrote this message.
I have included ps aux output of the computer while it is hung trying to
start kwin 4:3.2.1-1 via gdm.
If you have any idea of who I should contact for dealing with this bug,
or have any additional information please contact me. I am not on this
mailing list, so will not see any messages sent to this list.
