The problem was occuring as a result of August 9th's kernel for whatever reason, I'm guessing the problems that were manifesting in other people's computers (problems with ssh, samba, etc), were just affecting me by kde freezing, though ssh and samba were working fine. I didn't have a chance to test non-kdm invoked kde, although I did get consistent freezes at the same point even after rm -rf'ing root's kde settings (which were nonexistant to begin with). IIRC it would invoke the set up dialogue, I'd just exit out of it, and as it started KDE it would freeze at the aforementioned point, leaving only the .xsession-errors I mentioned before. I tried clearing out /tmp and then rebooting to make sure it was clear and then logging back in, as per a suggestion for solving kde problems I saw on google, but the same freeze, followed by a reboot after 7 seconds would occur. Freezes went away if I followed a previous poster's suggestion of cvsuping to 2002.08.06.19.00.00, as did they when I loaded an August 5th build I had on the hard drive, but would occur every time without fail (10+ attempts) with the build from the morning of August 9th. I wish I knew what caused it...I have a copy of the "bad" kernel lying around if you'd like me to try anything else. Oh, one more thing that may or may not be of consequence..I launch kde via the ssh-agent wrapper. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lauri Watts" <lauri@kde.org> To: "Eric Timme" <timothy@voidnet.com> Cc: <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 3:08 PM Subject: Re: recent kde problems (as of a 11am build) On Friday 09 August 2002 21.28, Eric Timme wrote: > P.S. the responses given to my earlier question about kdebase having > problems compiling were fixed when I forcibly rebuilt both qt and > kdebase as per suggestions, the former before the latter, and my > .xsession-errors when I boot in successfully seem to have about 6x as > many bad file descriptor messages *shrug*. The bad file descriptors is kind of bogus, and coming from Qt 3.0.5 (I have a patch that shuts it up, just not done yet.) There's no other errors from KDE? It just freezes? Could you try a couple of things please: Does KDE start if you run it from startx, with "exec startkde" in your .xinitrc? Does it start for any other users, especially a new user who has never run KDE before (shouldn't take you a second to make one, and is very helpful to know if that does or does not work - rmuser it when you're done if you like.)
