Subject: [gentoo-user]  puzzled over why xrdb process hangs
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2006 20:59:15 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20060222T215318-334@post.gmane.org> (raw)



Hello,

When I boot my laptop it starts up and boots the kde login screen.
When any user logs in, it gets to the third 'flashing icon' and hangs.
If I ssh into the system remotely, it's fine, it's the kde login sequence
that's hung.

quickly running 'top' I find the culprit:
krdb. I can kill it off and the sequence completes and the system is fine.

But 'eix xrdb' reveals:
x11-apps/xrdb
     Available versions:  [M]1.0.1
     Installed:           none


If it's not installed how can it be running (hung)?
I've tried all sorts of things to fix this and nothing
works, including revdep-rebuild...

ideas?

James
