[gentoo-user] No desktop after login with kdm

[nelis.botha]

I had to hardreboot my laptop was totaly unresponsive to any input. Now that I have rebooted I can login with kdm but after that I have no desktop. I can open applications with krunner (alt+f2) but thats it. All the applications looks okay. Any ideas as to how I can resolve this? 

Ps I am unable to connect to dsl atm am unable to send any kind of logs atm. Sending this from my phone .

Thanks & regards

Did you get that fixed? You might try manually starting the panel and 
desktop manager applications, and then rebooting after telling it not to 
save your session.

Hi

 I left the laptop on overnight and it resolved itself. Rebooted and
it was still working okay. Been going through the logs but can't find
anything that indicates what cuased this.

Thanks & Regards

It tends to be caused by crashes in which the session is not saved and 
the session manager has a hard time restoring it, so it doesn't start 
the panel and other stuff. Usually, starting the panel manually or 
logging out with out saving the session and then back in again will fix 
it. Glad you got it working!
