Package: kdm Version: 4:3.2.2-1 Severity: important After updating (please see the attached gzip'ed file for a log of what I updated), kdm shows a black rectangle where it used to show the login area - but it only happens on the remote terminal, on the local display it's working fine. Checking with x11vnc shows that's everything is really there, but it's displaying on the screen in black and white - usally black, which is why it looks like a black rectangle. This is not an X problem because the background to xdm (xearth) is displaying just fine, in color, just like usual. Also trying some other non-Kde programs works fine - mozilla for example runs fine, or if I set my session to gnome it works fine. (I use the vnc client to log in since I can't see where to type.) After logging in if I run mozilla, mozilla shows up normally but the window decoration is all in black. The only time I saw white is with the kde setup wizard where some of the text had a gray outline, everything else is all black. If it matters I am running the terminal with xserver-mach64 3.3.6-44 because the new version of X doesn't support the mach64 card except in unaccelerated VESA mode. My biggest problem in debugging this is that I updated a ton of packages at once, so I don't know which one to regress to try to narrow this down. Please look at the attached log and give me some pointers of which packages could possibly affect kde this way, and I'll downgrade them - assuming the old version is still apt-get'able. And just to reiterate this only happens on the remote server, it works fine on the local one. Ok, I ran some more tests - I ran X on aother machine, this one a full debian machine, also running xserver-mach64 - but this machine is running debian as it was pre the update that caused this problem. And everything worked fine. So it's not as simple as remote vs. local. Maybe something changed that caused xserver-mach64 to no longer be able to handle kde? But non-kde apps work fine? If you can't fix the problem, maybe some ideas of what to check? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kdm depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.5 Debian configuration management sy ii kdebase-bin 4:3.2.2-1 KDE Base (binaries) ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.3-2 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-6 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.4.1-4sarge1 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-7 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.3-4.1 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxtst6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System event recording an ii xbase-clients 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 miscellaneous X clients ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1.1-7 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: kdm/stop_running_server_with_children: false * kdm/default_servers_nolisten_tcp: * kdm/default_servers_100dpi: * kdm/kdmrc: shared/default-x-display-manager: kdm * kdm/default_nolisten_udp: kdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/kdm * kdm/oldconfig:
