Re: KDE does not start any more

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

Though you did not state which release, it appears to be something similar to my problems on my sid laptop. Please see the thread at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.kde/25539. 

In my testing, I figure it is either KDE, QT, the kernel, or the nvidia driver. I do not think it is KDE, since I originally upgraded to 4.6.2, but had the same issue in 4.4.5 after rebuilding and upgrading to sid. I am leaning toward the new nvidia drivers (260.19.44). Have a look at the thread above and see if it looks like your situation.

Dear list,

since my last upgrade KDE4 is starting any more.
As I am starting KDE from KDM, KDE is starting, then the splash screen
appears. After the third icon of the splash screen appears for millisecond,
KDE is crashing, X is resetting and KDM is restarted.

Any other WM like LXDE, FVWM, XFCE and so on are working fine.

Where can I look? Which are the logfiles, where I should look? /var/log/syslog,
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/kdm.log did not help much.

I also created a new user, to get a fresh  ~/.kde, and I also tried another
graphics driver (nv instead of nvidia).

My system is debian/testing, kernel 2.6.38-2-686 and the proprietrary nvidia
driver (version 173xx-dkms).

Any ideas, how to have a clearer look, what is happening at start of KDE?

Thanks for the help!

Best regards

Hans
