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 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
