That's root's splash screen you're setting in System Settings. (I'm
aware that you eventually solved the problem).

[sorry for the late response]

If the only symptom was the huge log file then it could be argued that: had 
debug messages been disabled, there wouldn't have been a problem... :D

I'm assuming that this [disabling debug messages] would be a change in the 
default kdebugdialog settings, and as such would be reversible by the 
admin/user. So, it would still be possible to discover the problem you ran 
into although there may be a bit of a delay until kdebugdialog is discovered 
and adjusted.

Can't find brazilian ABNT2 keyboard layout configuration in KDE4 - squeeze

2011-08-18 Thread Joao Roscoe
Looked at systemsettings, "General" tab, "Regional and Languages",
"Keyboard Layout"

Am I missing something?

It seems that running genkdmconf did the trick (yes, weird...)

Ksplashx will not show right after login.

2011-08-18 Thread Joao Roscoe
I have an up-to-date squeeze i386 fresh install which is not
displaying ksplash properly right after login. It just shows a white
rectangle on screen's top left corner, and then it presents my
desktop.

I assumed that there was something wrong with ksplash settings - so I
fired SystemSettings as root, selected "Look and Feel" > "Appearance"
> "Splash Screen" > "Default", and then hit the "Test Theme" button.
Got an error: "Failed to successfully test the splash screen".

So, I did the same as regular user. I found that my personal theme
choice was already "Default", and the test button worked. Also, I
typed >ksplahsx Default --test in konsole, and that worked also.

Then, I logged out, and logged in again. Still, no splash at all, only
a white rectangle on the left top screen corner.

Any hints?

Regards,
joão
