hi all, my first post. i have checked the archives for the past couple months and still need some help.
i'm running kde3.3.2 on a pentium4 with 1 gig of ram. debian distro and kernel-2.6.12-1-686. ( these problems have happened on previous kernels.) when first logging in after a restart, and placing my password and choosing kde, the system brings up the logo, and it gets to "starting services", then stops for a long period of time. as i wait it out, the screen goes blank and after another long time, music plays telling me its loading, then another long wait and the desktop comes up. all told its about 15 mins. 2nd problem. after i have my desktop up, i move the cursor to the kde logo on the panel(looking for other applications) when i click, the logo goes to a lighter color, but the mouse still works, but the panel is frozen. in right clicking the mouse, i can refresh the panel, as i do that, the panel goes blank and is outlined in grey. after about 10 mins the panel comes back on its own and the session can go on without further problems. the only thing execptioal in my XFreelog is : (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. your suggestions will be appricated.
