When I stick in my wireless ethernet card into a pcmcia slot, it comes up as irq3. I can then startx & kde (from startx) only if I do not configure the card. I either configure it by ifup eth1 (for static) or just run dhcpcd eth1 to get a dhcp address. If I configure the card, it halts at "initializing system services."
This is in .xsession-errors: jforman@pikesmarket:~$ cat .xsession-errors _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root DCOPServer up and running. jforman@pikesmarket:~$ After a reboot, and only initializing my builtin ethernet device, it does the same thing. Same message when starting X as root also. Below is a listing of /tmp. For some reason it seems to be setting /tmp/.ICE-unix/ to jforman, my normal user account. Any ideas? jforman@pikesmarket:/tmp$ ls -al total 32 drwxrwxrwt 7 root root 4096 Apr 29 19:28 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Apr 8 00:22 .. drwxrwxrwt 2 jforman jforman 4096 Apr 29 19:27 .ICE-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 19:28 .X11-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 19:24 .font-unix -rw------- 1 jforman jforman 241 Apr 29 19:27 dcopECGNsv drwx------ 2 jforman jforman 4096 Apr 29 19:27 kde-jforman drwx------ 2 jforman jforman 4096 Apr 29 19:27 ksocket-jforman jforman@pikesmarket:/tmp$ Was poking around /proc and found an irq directory, but only containing directories of numbers which seemed to be irq's with no files inside them to list the devices correlated with each irq. There a nifty little app built in to list irq's that I am forgetting about?
