Hello list, I have the following problem after an update to KDE 3.2 (latest rpms installed): On my two Suse 8.1 boxes (which are two absolutely different computers, even running with different kernels and different XFree versions) the screen is freezing occasionally when I am trying to log out or reboot. Instead of the log-in screen to show up, the computer freezes with a black screen. Is there anybody else having this problem or even a solution? I even disabled the fb, but it seems to be a script problem leaving KDE 3.2. Regards, Udo

I have the same problem on two different machines running suse 9.0 + kde 3.2, too. Too bad that the machines in question are _so_ dead that you cant even ssh in to look around... anyone got ideas? bye, MH
I've had this happen with 9.0 + 3.1 during shutdown. It's sporadic, and it usually never freezes more than a minute. The first suspect as always is the network card(s). At least in my case this seems to be related to Samba and the Wind'ohs boxes on my LAN. If you have a similar setup try shutting down your Win machines then logging off on your Linux box, and perhaps that will give you some clues as to where to go next.

I have a different configuration. The boxes are stand-alone and not connected to a lan. So, unfortunately it is neither the network card, nor Samba or win-boxes... Udo

This is probably a graphics device driver problem. I have an ATI Radeon 7500 and I have this problem sometimes when having TV-Out enabled. Restarting the Xserver or switching back to text console sometimes freezes the display. The only way out then is pushing the reset button. You should check if there is an update for the driver available. To prevent this problem at logout, add TerminateServer=false in the [X-*-Core] section of /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. Normally the Xserver is restarted on logout. This entry should make the old Xserver stay alive. Mario

Mario Hmm,
I disgree that this is a driver problem. I use ATI and Nvidia cards, different drivers - same problem. I use XFree 4.2 and 4.3 - different drivers - same problem. B.t.w. on KDE 3.0.x and 3.1.x the screen freeze does not show up. So I assume that the problem is related to one of the kdebase3 (or kdelib3) scripts... Astonishing to me is that this behaviour in not limited to my Suse 8.1 as Mathias was writing... Concerning your idea to set TerminateServer=false, that does not help really. If I logout more than once or select system shutdown, the freeze appears again. It must be a different kde-option causing the problem. Regards, Udo
obviously it is the kdebase3-SuSE which caused on my 8.1 the problem - I just removed it. At the moment it is running stable, no screen freeze... since 10 min. :-) Udo
