After upgrade to 4.6.2, kde freezes on login from kdm
I noticed this happening in testing too, and it was due to an upgrade in the NVIDIA proprietary driver to version 270. Using the "Legacy GPU version (173.14.xx)" works again. I don't know if the problem is actually in the 270 driver or something between it and KDM (as I said it also happens in 4.4.5 from testing). Cheers, -- Marcos R Carot Collins
After upgrade to 4.6.2, kde freezes on login from kdm
I upgraded from 4.6.1 (which worked fine) to 4.6.2 from experimental. The upgrade went apparently without problem. However, when I try to login from kdm, the system hangs as the 5th icon (the larger kde one) starts to fade in. The disk activity light carries on for a few more settings and the the system does nothing. I can use ctrl-alt-F1 to get back to a console and stop kdm. If i use alt-F7 to go back to X without stopping it, the screen is now black, although the mouse cursor does move. The same happens even when I tried logging in from a newly created user, so it isn't related to a specific setting. The xdm.log has nothing interesting, whilst .xsession.errors is full of warnings (as noted in previous posts) but no clear indication what has broken. I have tried reinstalling most of the kde core packages without any effect. I can use X with twm, but only by doing startx twm from a console - even if I choose twm session from the kdm menu it goes into kde and then hangs. I didn't find anything similar reported, using Google. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on or how to get a handle on it. Thanks, Mark

KDE freezes on "initializing peripherals"
Hey all, I've installed KDE on my debian box (via apt-get) and when I fire it up it seems to work fine until I it gets to "initializing perihperals" at which point it freezes - and takes console with it. Nothing can be done at console. ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't kill X, virtual consoles can't be used. I CAN ssh in, but killing X doesn't bring back console - the KDE start up screen stays until a reboot is done. Interestingly enough prior to getting to "initializing perihperals" I can use my mouse just fine. If I set KDE to startup at boot I can use my mouse and type in my password just fine (implying both mouse and keyboard are configured correctly in XF86Config) - but after logging in, when it gets to "initializing perihperals" it again freezes. Another note: I can launch X and twm and it works fine - it's just KDE that has a problem.

Re: KDE Freezes
Just a guess: maybe you should try it without alsa and / or NVidia kerneldrivers, and with the standard XFree nvidia X driver. And, isn't it possible, that your linux isn't freezing, maybe it is..ehm. waiting for something? (device, etc). Try waiting a few minutes, telneting from other host, running top, etc. -- Putz Ákos Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
KDE Freezes
I've got a pretty standard woody box, and I recently upgraded to the KDE2.2beta1 packages from unstable. I can log on through KDM fine, but once I'm in KDE and try to run a KDE program, my machine locks hard. Real hard. I can sync, unmount and reboot using the SysRq key, but ctrl-alt-bkspc out of X doesn't work, and neither does ctrl-alt-Fn to get a console. I'm running kernel 2.4.6, XFree86 4.0.3, with the NVidia GLX (version 1.0.1251-2) drivers compiled from woody. I'm also using the ALSA modules, version 0.5.10b-8, again, compiled from the testing sources. The odd thing is, KDE starts up fine, but running a KDE program locks it up hard. This also happens when I'm running E and start kmail. So far, the programs that cause the crash are known to be: NoAtun, KMail and Konqy. As you can imagine, testing this sort of thing is not the funnest type of thing in the world, but if anyone has something they want me to try, ask away. Based on the severity of the lock-up, I'm thinking that the NVidia drivers are causing it, because it definitely doesn't seem like something a user-space app could do. Another thought I had is that it could be ALSA. ALSA refuses to save or restore my volume settings on reboot and it seems that every second boot requires a '/etc/init.d/alsa force-reload; alsaconf' to get them to work at all. pgp8YRNKpdxzz.pgp Description: PGP signature
