1 Hello,
2
3 When I boot my laptop it starts up and boots the kde login screen.
4 When any user logs in, it gets to the third 'flashing icon' and hangs.
5 If I ssh into the system remotely, it's fine, it's the kde login sequence
6 that's hung.
7
8 quickly running 'top' I find the culprit:
9 krdb. I can kill it off and the sequence completes and the system is fine.
10
11 But 'eix xrdb' reveals:
12 x11-apps/xrdb
13 Available versions: [M]1.0.1
14 Installed: none
15
16
17 If it's not installed how can it be running (hung)?
18 I've tried all sorts of things to fix this and nothing
19 works, including revdep-rebuild...
20
21 ideas?
