This is the error in kdm.log

X: main/renderbuffer.c:2067: _mesa_reference_renderbuffer: Assertion `oldRb-
>Magic == 0xaabbccdd' failed.

There is a bug opened, but without solution yet.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550992

I will keep searchig. This is not a kde problem. 

Thanks!

My suggestion is that you should stop installing your OS over and over 
again for first: it's just a waste of time. If you really want to solve 
your problems, post some logs so we can help you. When you do a fresh 
install, hundreds of packages are involved and it's quite difficult to 
find the culprit. So what you are doing is almost useless.
Probably you will find more saviour advices than mine, but 
check the permissions on the files of your /home/directory. If 
everything is right, just as a starting point post:
/var/log/kdm.log
/var/log/kdm.log.1 (if kdm.log is empty)
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
We can see if there are any error.

I tried with gdm. 

Now, I did the next
- fresh debian testing base netinstall
- aptitude install kde-standard (only this command)

and I have the same problem. Three weeks ago, I did the same steps with no 
problems, so I think it is a 4:4.4.3 packages problem.

Another cannot login problem, fresh install

2010-05-19 Thread Facundo
Hi,

I did the next:
- debian testing fresh base install
- upgrade to unstable
- install kde-standar kdm...

When I login with kdm, x is restarted in the kde starting splash
screen. I tried with gdm, but it is the same. There is no permissions
problem with the user or with /tmp, etc, folders, it is a fresh
install. The only error message is from syslog, saying "x server for
display :0 terminated unexpectedly". There are no errors in x log and
.xsession-errors is empty. kaboom never appears. I installed kde from
unstable directly, I never ugraded from testing.

Any help?

Thanks

Facundo

It's things like this that make me admit I'm not a "systems admin".

Now I have to go look up "stick bit". I've known for a while that 
there was more than rwxrwxrwx, but never looked it up.

Thanks for letting me lurk in on the discussion and its resolution.

 I remember that first time I try to execute the startx with my user I
 get some errors but not with root. The problem was that the /tmp directory
 doesn't have permissions to write with my user.

 The correct permissions are:


 cd /tmp

 ls -ld

 drwxrwxrwt  8 root root 12288 2010-04-07 13:12 .

 Could you check it?

 When trying to login with gdm it has an option to view the
 .xsession-errors file. The error is mkdtmp: private folder browsing
 (something like that :P): Permission denied.

 When I was using kdm and did a cat on the same file the second line just
 showed: Permission denied.

 I checked the .Xauthority file and did chown to my user.

 Yes I did stop kdm when I tried that. The strange thing is that if I
 login as root from console and do a startx then a kde session starts
 normally. If I do that as a normal user I get the errors..

I remember that first time I try to execute the startx with my user I get
some errors but not with root. The problem was that the /tmp directory
doesn't have permissions to write with my user.

The correct permissions are:


cd /tmp

ls -ld

drwxrwxrwt  8 root root 12288 2010-04-07 13:12 .

Could you check it?

When trying to login with gdm it has an option to view the .xsession-errors
file. The error is mkdtmp: private folder browsing (something like that :P):
Permission denied.

When I was using kdm and did a cat on the same file the second line just
showed: Permission denied.

I checked the .Xauthority file and did chown to my user.

Yes I did stop kdm when I tried that. The strange thing is that if I login
as root from console and do a startx then a kde session starts normally. If
I do that as a normal user I get the errors..

When doing startx as a normal user from console I get some errors like "xkb
could not initialize" and "Xinit: no such file or directory" and "Xinit:
Could not connect to xserver"

Some friend told me to purge kde and reinstall it. I don't think this will
help. Do you think I should give it a try?

Re: Cannot login

2010-04-06 Thread Daniel Sutil
Hello.

Some weeks ago I had exactly the same behaviour as you in my debian testing
system.
I cannot login to kde  "with kdm". When I tried to login to kde I get kdm's
login screen again.
Also, and I think that that is the problem we have, I applied
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510.
Until now, I thought that the fix to skype was not what caused the problem
with the login, but now, I think that that's the problem, because I have
exactly the same problem with the login as yours and the problem start
exactly after I applied the fix to skype's (Until now, I thought that the
problem comes with a patch upgrade or something like that).

I made the following tests:
- Create a new user and tried to login and get the same behaviour.
- Check free space and all was ok.
- Rename /.kde to /.kde_old and /.kde4 to
/.kde4_old and I get the same behaviour.
- I tried to undo the recommendations in
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510 with no success (but I
really don't know if I do all the steps to restore the system as before the
fix)
- I remove the kdm and reinstall it with no success
- I remove all kde packages and reinstalled, also with no success :-(
- I could start kde with no problem from a console, stopping the kdm and
executing startx with my user. Can you try this?

Finally I applied the following workaround: I remove kdm and installed gdm.
After that, I have no problem to login. I haven't investigated any further
because I really don't know from where the problem comes, but now, maybe we
have to undo the steps applied with the skype's solution to solve our
problem.

I hope this helps to solve our problem

P.D. Sorry for my typos

Un saludo,

Daniel Sutil

There is plenty of space. I think something messed up the permissions cause
the laptop was in suspend mode when I repeatedly pressed the power button.
So it has to be my bad and not a bug or something.

Hi,

perhaps

#chown -R john /home/john

or any username you use ?

If this does'nt work, you can try to create a new user and then cope all your 
files to /home/new-user.

To be correct: With cat on .xsession-errors it says in the first line that
it tried starting x and on the second line Permission denied. I wrote this
in case someone by mistake thought I had no permission to read the
.xsession-errors file.

Cannot login

2010-04-06 Thread John Kapnogiannis
Hello there. I got a debian testing installation and I currently cannot 
login in kde. I give my pass and instead of a proper kde session I get 
kdm's login screen again. I haven't done any upgrade but I did a really 
stupid thing: I hit the power button and turn the laptop off the hard 
way while it was in suspend mode. I tried googling but it gave me no 
usefull things.


The .xsession-errors file in my home folder says Permission denied. I 
checked the permissions in /tmp and /var/tmp and everything seems fine. 
I also deleted the .kde folder. Login in as root and typing startx opens 
a kde session.


Any ideas?

PS: I did the instructions described in this page: 
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510 in order to fix skype on 
me 64-bit installation, but I don't think it has something to do with my 
problem. I think something got wrong when I hit the power button. :(
