Package: kdebase Version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal After doing dist-upgrade yesterday KDE failed to start. When splash screen showed that it is loading the desktop, screen went black and returned to the login prompt (can't remeber if X restarted).
After file-by-file copying of my original ~/.kde I found out that using a fresh ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc fixed the problem. I haven't manually edited the file ever, so I would have expected it to work after dist-upgrade. This is what I had in kcminputrc originally: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [$Version] update_info=mouse_cursor_theme.upd:kde3.4.99 [Keyboard] ClickVolume=0 KeyboardRepeating=true NumLock=0 RepeatDelay=660 RepeatRate=25 [Mouse] cursorTheme= ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- And this is what it contained after clean first login: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [$Version] update_info=mouse_cursor_theme.upd:kde3.4.99 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.6 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kdebase depends on: ii hal 0.5.10-4 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii kappfinder 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 non-KDE application finder for KDE ii kate 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 advanced text editor for KDE ii kcontrol 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 control center for KDE ii kdebase-bin 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 core binaries for the KDE base mod ii kdebase-data 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 shared data files for the KDE base ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 core I/O slaves for KDE ii kdepasswd 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 password changer for KDE ii kdeprint 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 print system for KDE ii kdesktop 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 miscellaneous binaries and files f ii kfind 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 file-find utility for KDE ii khelpcenter 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 help center for KDE ii kicker 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 desktop panel for KDE ii klipper 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 clipboard utility for KDE ii kmenuedit 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 menu editor for KDE ii konqueror 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 KDE's advanced file manager, web b ii konqueror-nsplugins 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 Netscape plugin support for Konque ii konsole 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 X terminal emulator for KDE ii kpager 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 desktop pager for KDE ii kpersonalizer 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 installation personalizer for KDE ii ksmserver 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 session manager for KDE ii ksplash 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 the KDE splash screen ii ksysguard 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 system guard for KDE ii ktip 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 useful tips for KDE ii kwin 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 the KDE window manager ii libkonq4 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 core libraries for Konqueror ii pmount 0.9.16-4 mount removable devices as normal Versions of packages kdebase recommends: ii kdm 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 X display manager for KDE -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
