 Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:01 pm Post subject: KDE 4.1: Desktop crashes after login [solved] |
 |
|
I recently upgraded from kde 3.5.9 to 4.1, first with the kdesvn-portage overlay and now with the kde-testing overlay. Everything installed fine, but when I try to login, I'll see the desktop for a half second and then I get kicked back to the login screen. If I choose a "Failsafe" session, I can log in and launch apps just fine (I'm posting this from a failsafe session right now).
Here is a copy of .xsession-errors after I boot straight into kdm and try to login: link.
Here is a copy of the output from `emerge --info`: link.
I'm not sure what other info is helpful, so I'll just post those two for now. Thanks in advance for help.

rename your .kde* directories and see if it helps.

Hello.
I had same issues some time ago.
For me helps to simplify xorg.conf:
| Code: |
65 Section "Device"
66 Identifier "Card0"
67 Driver "nvidia"
68 VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
69 # Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
70 # Option "RenderAccel" "true"
71 # Option "backingstore" "true"
72 # Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
73 # Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
74 # Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
75 Option "DPI" "96x96"
76 EndSection
|
Works now.

It must have been a problem with composite. After I commented out all the options on my card in xorg.conf like you suggested, and commented out the composite extension section, I was able to boot into kde successfully. Am I missing anything by not having composite enabled? |

You will miss dektop effects. Nvidia cards seem to have performance problems with it. Oh, in your case it was not an performance problem :p It's up to nvidia when this will work good. |

When I have more time I'll go back and figure out what exactly fixed it for me (and I'll report the results here). For now, I'm just happy to have a working desktop again. |
