Booting stops when loading KDE [SOLVED]

Post#1 by Onraj » 20 Jan 2012, 18:55

I've had this same behavior at least with 1.0, 1.1 rc2, 1.1 and if I remember correctly 0.9 but I'm not sure about that anymore.

When I boot to default KDE loading stops at "Initializing system services". It doesn't hang just blinks that icon and disappears after about minute or two and leaves only that blue background.

I can restart X and in kdm log in to LXDE. It works but every time I open KDE application kconf_update uses 100% of my CPU but if I kill that process, application that I tried to open at first comes up and seems to work normally.

My log files
dmesg http://pastebin.com/E5zjrWhH
messages http://pastebin.com/kP1HKBA5
syslog http://pastebin.com/hJg9b5jV

Once I tried log in in console mode and when I shutdown X it reported something about that it couldn't connect to kdeinit. But my console skills are not that good that I could provide whole log about it. But i will look more deeply if there is any help.

I have been using 64 bit versions and they work fine. As I said this has been an issue before but I haven't really bothered to look it closely until now when 1.1 released. This time I really did everything by the book but no success. No error with install and MD5 sums were fine.

see this thread: http://porteus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=968
and download the latest nVidia driver, as linked in fanthom's thread on the second page of that thread. Let us know if this doesn't help.

Thanks!
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

It seems to work.

Can't believe I read that post about an hour ago but didn't pay attentions to details.

Sorry about this thread. Can be deleted.
