Package: ksmserver Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 Severity: important The startscript supposed to start the kde session makes broken assumptions. The scripts expects a local Xserver, which is false in Xterminal configurations where the xserver is on a remote device. Kdesession startup is slow because the script does scary things (investigationg and configuring fonts and doing Xserver manipulations.
Took us 3 days in a 20 user Xterminal situation to figure out, that a missing local xserver has caused breaks and login failures. We got rid of most of the problems after installing a xserver on the headless hardware. This whole script needs some overhaul. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-k7 Locale: LANG=de_DE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages ksmserver depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8etch1 core libraries and binaries for al ii kwin [x-window-ma 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2 the KDE window manager ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.8-4 The Network Audio System (NAS).
