Hello, MY gentoo laptop has been working fine for years.... However, now upon login (of any user) it hangs. SSh into the machine and I see that xrdb is hung. Killing off the process allows the kde login apps to complete and everything else is normal. I have re-emerged kdebase but this does not fix the problem. xrdb is not even installed. I had this problem a while back, so I just upgraded everything and recompile half of the apps on the machine and it went away. This is very annoying. Any idea how to track down the culprit and fix this ghost, permanently?
When I look at '/usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/kdmrc' <snip> # Specify a file with X-resources for the greeter, chooser and background. # The KDE frontend does not use this file, so you do not need it unless you # use another background generator than krootimage. # Default is "" #Resources= # The xrdb program to use to read the above specified recources. # Subject to word splitting. # Default is "/usr/bin/xrdb" #Xrdb= # A program to run before the greeter is shown. Can be used to start an # xconsole or an alternative background generator. Subject to word splitting. # Default is "" Setup=/usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/Xsetup # A program to run before a user session starts. Subject to word splitting. # Default is "" Startup=/usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/Xstartup <end snip> All looks fine.... Ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
