I may have had the same problem a week ago. X would start, kdm would |
| 12 |
let me log in, but just about when the kde desktop would finish loading |
| 13 |
kde would quit back to kdm. Couldn't find any hint in /var/log. |
| 14 |
Started backing out various things ended up getting the system working |
| 15 |
again by masking hal 0.5.11: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# cat /etc/portage/package.mask/monolithic |
| 18 |
=sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2 |
| 19 |
~sys-apps/hal-0.5.11 |
| 20 |
=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
At the time I was suspecting that hal 0.5.11 was requiring evdev (which |
| 24 |
with 20+ hours of unsuccessfully trying to get it to work over the last |
| 25 |
year, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the culprit). |

Haven't had time to dig further. |
