I have had this problem for some time: I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper
KDE wouldn't work at all! That turned out to be a problem with the Indic, Thai and other Asian fonts that had been installed along the way in the upgrade. Removing them caused KDM to behave itself. I had the user face problem etc. Anyway I deleted the .face files and that went away. The memory corruption report has remained. Still the memory corruption lines kept appearing in the log. Eventually I went to the Kcontrol panel and changed the KDM fonts from "Sans Serif" to "Bitstream Vera Sans". Behold no more memory corruption problems!!! Logs have been clear for a day. I also had a terrible memory leak in X too. That seems to be gone. My suggestion is that there is a certain intolerance in KDM towards some fonts... Also other users work on my machine via LTSP. When they log off X disappears and I am left looking at the left over bootsplash screen CTRL + ALT + F7 returns to normal but this is a pain. -- KDM detected memory corruption https://launchpad.net/bugs/47455 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
