[opensuse] Latest Update of KDE 4.22 Factory for 11.1 Renders KDE 4.2 Unbootable
The KDE4 desktop was updated normally using Yast and KDE4 factory repositories. In the past, this has not caused any problems. This time however KDE4 does not start. KDM fails to show the login in screen. GDM boots up and displays the login screen, allowing access to KDE3 and Gnome but not KDE4. Using XDM as the login manager, an error message complains: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 139. Check your installation." Searching on the internet did not point to a solution. The file contain the program (kdebase4-workspace-4.2.2-219.1.i586.rpm) was downloaded from the 11.1 Factory respository and installed but to no avail. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I updated and restarted the computer a few minutes ago and on 11.1 x64 there was no such issue. Does "sudo zypper up" not show any available updates? Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I can not confirm. On my two systems (32 bit and 64 bit) everything works. A return code of 139 means that a process that was executed crashed with signal 11, segmentation fault. This would be /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4. This program doesn't really do anything that should be able to crash, but apparently it does. Which version of qt do you have there? Do you get anything in $HOME/.xsession-errors when this happens? Can you run /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4 from the command line? Does it crash then? If it does, can you strace it, with strace -f -o kde.strace /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig4 and put the file kde.strace somewhere downloadable?

_Exactly_ the same here but only on a nvidia 64 bit desktop. My old ATI laptop upgraded fine. Looks like there was another update even though it's the weekend. Maybe that's the solution. Pls let me know if you get it going. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

kdostartupconfig4 doesn't use any graphics, so the nvidia part is irrelevant. I have a 64bit nvidia here, and a 32bit ATI, and both work fine.

From the version number, I think Sudhir already has the latest version of kdebase4-workspace, but yes, making sure the latest packages are there should be the first thing to do. The strace I mentioned in my other email would be the next, and if nothing interesting shows up there, a coredump might help in tracking down the problem Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I updated my 32bit laptop and 64 bit desk between 10:00 and 12:00 horas CET yesterday. I now see more updates in factory even though it's the weekend. I'm away so can only (and just have ...ed') update the laptop and it's still ok even though it's messed up my panel icons:-( And hey to all you guys in this thread it makes me feel better about working Sundays.
