[opensuse] Interesting KDE 4.7 X server problems
Hi Folks, A few days ago I did a zypper dup against the KDE:/Release:/47/openSUSE_11.4/ repository and boy howdy, the pasta really it the fan! I initially had an ATI adapter and after the upgrade kdm would crash, as would xstart after Xorg was made suid root. After flailing around and making negative progress I decided to retire the whole desktop and made a new installation on a second system with an NVIDIA adapter. After the same update to 4.7 kdm was crashing again, as was X started manually. The Xorg.0.log log didn't have any "EE" errors, X just blinked out of existence. After more flailing about I discovered that X failed ONLY for users who listed tcsh as their default login shell! Bash users worked fine after issuing "startx". Kdm is still borked. So X has an issue when being started from the tcsh shell. Think this is worth filing a bug report? Anyone else seen it?

Absolutely. Anytime you can narrow it down that precisely you've done half the work already. No need for that knowledge to get lost on this list. I've not seen any of these errors, as I have not installed lately. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah. +1 -- There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking. -- Alfred Korzybski -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
