Lets try Again !!! ---------------------------- Greeting'z, I have been trying to fix this since Tuesday 09-05, due to stormy weather, I shutdown before leaving for the weekend, normally I rarely logout, let alone shutdwn. Login (from KDM) is ok, while loading kde, (splash at stage: "restoring session") it freezes, all user procs seem stuck in stop/wait state (no zombies), must kill X (CAB), I can login with other (normaly unused) uids, and root ok ( I never clutter up my root desktop ), I can drop to init 3, login, startx, same result, mv .kde .kde-save and start fresh, loads fine, cp over my configs (except: Kgpg, Kpgp), and restart X, and it loads completely (although several panel applets, and superkaramba get left out) But ( this is whats driving me crazy ), if I exit and startx again, same problem (its adding the kgpg, kpgp config back in,, but a clean kde init does not have them, most likely its referenced from kmail, have not yet disabled gpg from within kmail, yet) Twice while testing ( adding one apps configs at a time), I got an error message stating that: GnuPG Agent is enabled, but the agent doesnt seem to be running, that I should disable it, or fix the agent. < see attachment (screenshot): kgpg-startup-error-1.jpg > !!!!!!!!!! WTF 30KB file limit on this list !!!!!!!! @$^*(^$##^&**%#^& !!!!!!!!!! Disabling the agent through KGpg's config did not fix it. On 09-05, I ran YOU, and found updates for gpg, and gpg2, but this had no effect ::

2006-09-05 17:59:50 (16992): Installing gpg2: "gpg2: This update fixes a segmentaion fault" 2006-09-05 17:59:44 (16992): Installing gpg: "gpg: This update fixes a segmentaion fault"

I did notice that after the previous run of YOU, w/ another gpg fix, that the time frame after I had a similar ( or the same ) problem, but after trying to login a couple times, it finally worked

2006-07-26 17:56:53 (660): Installing gpg2: "gpg2: Security update to fix crash on special crafted messages"

Nothing of relevnce in system logs:

captured output of startx, but tells me nothing usefull < see attachment: startx-kde_freeze-log-1.txt > These are the files I can mv/rm and get the desktop loaded: .kde/share/config/kgpgrc .kde/share/config/kpgprc ---------- well, that is all I can think of to report, If anybody can help me fix this, I would greatly appriciate it. ---------- System Info: Dist:: SuSE Linux 9.3 (i586) en Installed : 2005-07-03 all updates current as of: 2006-09-05 : 18:00 CST / GMT -0600 Apps:: xorg-x11-server: Version: 6.8.2 Release: 30.6 Install date: Tue 08 Aug 2006 08:38:20 AM CDT kdebase3: Version: 3.4.0 Release: 28.2 Install date: Thu 25 Aug 2005 01:20:46 AM CDT gpg: Version: 1.4.0 Release: 4.8 Install date: Tue 05 Sep 2006 05:59:45 PM CDT gpg2: Version: 1.9.14 Release: 6.10 Install date: Tue 05 Sep 2006 05:59:51 PM CDT kgpg: kdeutils3: Version: 3.4.0 Release: 7 Install date: Sun 03 Jul 2005 08:53:33 AM CDT ----------- Attachments: 1> 2> startx-kde_freeze-log-1.txt ::MD5: 7938e08c204046b672cb746f4befc3a9 ----------- Dedicated SuSEr since SuSE 4.0 Reg.
