I've got a fairly new (7/20/03) install of woody with KDE installed via apt-get. My logon manager is gdm. Starting this morning kde would show the splash screen, get to initializing services, wait there for several minutes with the icon flashing, then the splash screen disappears and the screen stays gray. Nothing ever happens.
I don't know enough about kde to even start trouble shooting this. I've used woody for years and simply never had trouble with kde before. I've don "apt-get --reinstall install kdebase" with no improvement. When I switched to gnome it complained it couldn't resolve my machine name so I added it to the hosts file. After that gnome had no trouble. I can run gnome for a while but it's irritating. Can anyone give me a pointer here? Thanks for the help. John Purser
