Bug#605138: kde: using KDE with a new user fails completely
Package: kdebase
Version: 5:64
Severity: important
File: kde
Tags: squeeze sid
Hi,
I tried to setup KDE for a new user. This fails completely because of the following reasons:
- the machine uses the X.org radeon KMS driver (works with other users)
- the ~/.xsession-errors contains the lines below
--------------------------
[...]
kglobalaccel(4094) GlobalShortcutsRegistry::registerKey: Registering key "Alt+Shift+F12" for "kwin" : "Suspend Compositing"
WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug!
WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXQueryDrawable" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug!
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/plasma-desktop
plasma-desktop: cannot connect to X server :0
plasma-desktop(4095): Communication problem with "plasma-desktop" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" : " "The name org.kde.plasma-desktop was not provided by any .service files" "
--------------------------
The solution to get the user to work was to add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
NOTE: there is NO information for the user when that happens. It only goes to back to kdm :-(
