Package: kdm Version: 4:4.8.4-6 Severity: grave --- Please enter the report below this line. --- As per request of maintainer, submitting new bug here. Note that this is being done from the live DVD.
Made new 64bit install from this DVD. I have complaints about how the partitions were set up but this is irrelevant to kdm. At first, the system worked perfectly. Then I attempted to upgrade to Sid. As kde packages were being held, I did not upgrade any of these. However, some upgrade rendered kde inoperative. Whenever a login is attempted from kdm, the pane simply blinks and new login offered. The kdm.log complains: "unable to access dbus session ..." Thinking I needed kde/kdm upgrades as well, succeeded in doing this. So now 4.4.11-* like I had on my previous 32-bit Sid. Problem persists. First suspicion: No space left on /var. Culprit is not runaway mail files or logs--it is the apt cache. Cleaned that, 55% free. However, the problem persists. Information below refers to the live DVD. Some of this was upgraded to Sid, triggering the problem. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Debian Release: 7.5 500 stable security.debian.org 500 stable http.debian.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===================================================-+-=================== kde-runtime | 4:4.8.4-2 libc6 (>= 2.11) | 2.13-38+deb7u1 libck-connector0 (>= 0.2.1) | 0.4.5-3.1 libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 libkdecore5 (>= 4:4.8) | 4:4.8.4-4 libkdeui5 (>= 4:4.8) | 4:4.8.4-4 libkio5 (>= 4:4.8) | 4:4.8.4-4 libknewstuff3-4 (>= 4:4.8) | 4:4.8.4-4 libkworkspace4abi1 (= 4:4.8.4-6) | 4:4.8.4-6 libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1) | 1.1.3-7.1 libqimageblitz4 (>= 1:0.0.4) | 1:0.0.6-4 libqt4-svg (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 libqt4-xml (>= 4:4.5.3) | 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1) | 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0) | 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | 4.7.2-5 libx11-6 | 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 libxau6 | 1:1.0.7-1 libxdmcp6 | 1:1.1.1-1 libxtst6 | 2:1.2.1-1+deb7u1 debconf (>= 0.5) | 1.5.49 OR debconf-2.0 | lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) | 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 consolekit | 0.4.5-3.1 kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins (= 4:4.8.4-6) | 4:4.8.4-6 adduser | 3.113+nmu3 kde-wallpapers-default | 4:4.8.4-1 Recommends (Version) | Installed ==================================-+-=========== logrotate | 3.8.1-4 xserver-xorg | 1:7.7+3~deb7u1 OR xserver | kde-workspace | 4:4.8.4-6 OR x-session-manager | OR x-window-manager | xterm | 278-4 OR x-terminal-emulator | Suggests (Version) | Installed =============================-+-=========== kdepasswd | 4:4.8.4-2 kde-wallpapers | 4:4.8.4-1
