i am having a strange problem with kde... whenever
it runs, and i try to open a program, it crashes, IE xdm (or kdm, if i try with
that) stops and x exits. i went through a lot of analysis and i came to the odd
conclusion by trial and error that, if i log into it with users which don't have
sound priveleges, it doesn't die. spotting this strangeness for what it was, i
looked in my xsession errors files for the users with which kde stopped running
- lo and behold, errors! and here it is:
stretchPixmap 24x4 to 24x128 Could not read '/tmp//kfm-cache-0/index.txt' kpanel: waiting for windowmanager kaudioserver: Catching fatal X IO Error. Cleaning up. ok so, then i logged in as one of my users without
sound priveleges again, and in the console as root i did a ps x... kaudioserver
does not run. it used to run in the background if i'm not mistaken (if i am
please correct me, but on my system anyhow it was running all the time during
kde sessions).
i'm new to kde and i have no clue as to a) what
happened to my kaudioserver, b) what the heck is that "Could not read
'/tmp//kfm-cache-0/index.txt'" nonsense??, or c) how to even begin to fix any of
this without uninstalling it all and starting over again.
if anyone can help, or even give me some clues as
to what to look for and where, i'd be most appreciative. thanks.
