I'm having a problem after I did emerge --update world last night. |
2 |
After it finished, it said 75 files in /etc needed updating. OK, I've |
3 |
seen this before and have made mistakes with it. So this time, I |
4 |
copied all of /etc to /home/mark/etc.old, and then ran etc-update. I |
5 |
then let it auto merge everything and rebooted. |
6 |
|

At this point, KDE would not start. Instead, I got a generic-looking |
8 |
X11 screen, and had no mouse. So I did Ctrl+Alt+F1 and got back to a |
9 |
cmd line. Then I copied everything back from /etc.old back to its |
10 |
original place in /etc and rebooted again. |

|
12 |
Now, KDE starts, and I have a normal login screen. However, when I log |
13 |
in, KDE hangs on "Initializing Peripherals". Eventually, the KDE |
14 |
startup screen goes away, and I'm left with a blank screen except for |
15 |
my background, but no desktop icons. |

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks |
