Isn't xrdb part of x11-base/xorg?

Remerge your X and pay attention to etc-update messing up your .Xdefaults.

[gentoo-user] xrdb hangs login

[James]

Hello,

MY gentoo laptop has been working fine for years However, now 
upon login
(of any user) it hangs. SSh into the machine and I see that 
xrdb is hung. Killing
off the process allows the kde login apps to complete and 
everything else is
normal. I have re-emerged kdebase  but this does not fix the
 problem. xrdb is
not even installed. I had this problem a while back, so I just
 upgraded everything
and recompile half of the apps on the machine and it went away. 
This is very
annoying. Any idea how to track down the culprit and fix this 
ghost, permanently?


When I look at '/usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/kdmrc' 
snip
# Specify a file with X-resources for the greeter, chooser and background.
# The KDE frontend does not use this file, so you do not need it unless you
# use another background generator than krootimage.
# Default is 
#Resources=
# The xrdb program to use to read the above specified recources.
# Subject to word splitting.
# Default is /usr/bin/xrdb
#Xrdb=
# A program to run before the greeter is shown. Can be used to start an
# xconsole or an alternative background generator. Subject to word splitting.
# Default is 
Setup=/usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
# A program to run before a user session starts. Subject to word splitting.
# Default is 
Startup=/usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/Xstartup
end snip

All looks fine

Ideas?

[gentoo-user] xrdb hangs login

[james]

Hello,

I use kde and login from a kde menu gui. Most recently, the system
boots OK and login proceeds to the 'peripherals' stage, then hangs.
I can then ssh into the system, kill off 'xrdb' and the kde-login
launcher complete and everything is find.

ps -aux revels it is xrdb that is the culprit.  

eix nor emerge -s reveal that xrdb is installed.

'emerge unmerge xrdb' says that xrdb is not installed.

I'm running the latest stable kde and 2.6.15-gentoo-r2.
In fact booting an older 1.6.15-gentoo kernels does
not fix the problem, so it's definately a kde-login-launcher
problem.

Any fixes or advice?


James
