For those like me that are very new to downgrading a package:

download this:

http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_0.9.8-3_amd64.deb

then use:

 dpkg -i openssl_0.9.8-3_amd64.deb

to install it. You will be given a warning that you are downgrading the 
package.

You have probably updated openssl / libssl0.9.8.
This prevents ssh to start and ssh-agent also.
You should have the following messge in your syslog:
 kernel: ssh-agent[10943]: segfault at 66cd1b2c rip

The best way is to revert openssl and libnssl0.9.8 from
0.9.8a-1 to 0.9.8-3

I have exactly the same kind of errors. It is related to the problem
exposed in the
 thread " nvidia error -xorg doesn't start".

Comment in /etc/X11/Xsession.options the line mentioning ssh-agent.

This looks like the same problem that I am having at the minute as I am 
getting exactly the same error message when I try and login. In think the 
problem is to do with the openssh-client segfaulting. My guess is that you 
are using ssh-askpass (as I am) to start your kde / gnome session.

The bug that seems to be most relevant is this one:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=328606

only it was filed against 1:4.2p1-3 and the current version that seems to be 
in error is 1:4.2p1-5 I suppose the bug might have popped back up. Can anyone 
confirm that this is what is causing this bug.

What makes me think this is the problem is whenever I try and use anything 
that relies on openssh-client such as ssh or ssh-askpass I get a segfault 
message in the syslog like this:

Oct 18 14:07:20 localhost kernel: ssh-agent[6705]: segfault at 
000114211b2c rip 2ac40817 rsp 7fdbaa48 error 4
Oct 18 14:13:06 localhost kernel: ssh[6763]: segfault at 00014a00432c rip 
2ac40817 rsp 7fce6e58 error 4

Anyway that's my best guess. If it's not related I would apprecaite help with 
this problem because I too can't log in.

Cheers,

Graham

can't connect to ANY desktop !

2005-10-18 Thread moi 1392
This morning I could start a desktop session (kde), I apt-get upgrade,
and after shutting down and up my computer I was unable to start any
desktop session !

I tried kde / gnome / enlightenment with xdm / kdm / gdm and startx,
with my account, root and an account that I just created to test !!

Each time, after I enter my password and validate, X restart and
reprompt x/g/kdm or I return under my VT.

I can't get any useful message from Xorg.0.log, /var/log/syslog, dmesg
and /var/log/daemon.log.

In gdm, I get this error message :

/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w
var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "moi"
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

And that's all...

Someone have an idea or an advice ? I'm really clueless !!
