Dear Pat As I have only three external devices hooked up, it was a fast run. The KDE was still faster hanging. No way to reboot. Thought it would be nice to have the KDE boot sequence in a log file in order to find out what causes the hanging. Is there a way to acheive that?
Alternative would be to forget KDE and work with another desktop program but I am accustomed to the KDE way and am able to find my way through the setups.
Well, you can always check your /var/log/messages for any system messages, whether errors or normal system info. It seems that X is running ok or you couldn't get the other GUI's to work ok. There is also the alternative to reinstall all of KDE to maybe replace an errant file that got installed. You can also find a .xsession & .xsession-errors files in your user directory. Don't think you will see anything there, but worth a look at least as the bug may be coming from that.
