Bug#757458: kdelibs-bin: kdeinit4 on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD consuming 100% of CPU; cannot login to KDE desktop .
Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:4.13.3-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed Debian to my 250GB Seagate drive. This installed a text/CLI
interface. Then I installed packages via cupt for plasma-desktop, and
associated KDE applications (dolphin, konsole, etc). I installed lightdm as the
display manager.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? At the lightdm screen I entered my username and password,
made sure KDE was the selected desktop and pressed Enter to login.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The default splash-screen showed the first icon, then seemingly froze.
The remaining icons do not display, and the desktop does not show up.
I then switched to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F5, logged in and ran "htop". This
showed a kdeinit4 process consuming 100% of the CPU.
Issuing "kill -9 <pid of afore-mentioned kdeinit4 process> will allow the
splash screen to proceed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
To be able to login to the KDE plasma-desktop shell.
