[gentoo-user] KDM stucking!

[gentoo-user] KDM stucking!

[Jackie]

Starting up Gentoo today and found that after I entered my password in KDM  
and the screen just stuck there with nothing for a while(maybe more than  
1min) and then splash came up.This never appeared before and I don't know  
why.The only thing I did and might have something to do with it is that I  
happened to have deleted the /var/tmp/kdecache-username directory.So,is  
this reason? And what should I do now? Here is my ~/.xsession-errors  
file:http://pastebin.com/7N3A9bCc
Thanks.

What happens when you use login on the terminal and then use startx?

I would add, try a different user. If you don't have one, just add one
for testing things like this. I have a dale and dale2 on here. Helps me
to see if a problem is a config thing or a software thing.

Your quetion inspired me and I did the follow tests:
	1).Login through KDM and then logout and login again,no change,still it  
takes 1min before 		    splah shows up;
	2).Fresh startup and switch to TTY by Ctrl+Alt+F1 when KDM dialog shows  
up and use startx,glad 		   to see that things goes well and no delay  
before splash appears.
	3).Move ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde.bak and restart machine,no luck:(
I still don't get a clue what; wrong here and why this all happend. Hope  
the information above will be helpful.

It could be a database or kde software initialization mechanics
and such.  Let it run a few times, update portage 
(rinse and repeat) and see after several days of log
in and out  use htop and other simialr programes
to monitor system resource utilization for additional
info.

Just a WAG (Wild Ass Guess)...

I have a vague recollection of something like this being related to DNS
lookups.

Now that you reminded me, I have had the same problem with even a
console login.  I seem to recall editing my hosts file and adjusting
resolv.conf file or the config that manages the settings.  I'm not sure
which one fixed it and never really figured out why it matters.

That has been a while ago tho.  I need some elephant genes.  :/

Regarding to yours and Dale's suggetion,seems it indeed has something to  
do with DNS(/etc/host.conf & /etc/resolv.conf settings maybe). Anyway I am  
giving it a shot after Google for DNS HowTo :)
Reply to you guys soon!

I have had KDE behave similarly when my LDAP authentication was screwed up. There was an issue caused by a gnome library that was pulled in by gnucash. This only affected KDE logins, not console logins. Are you attempting to log in with a local user?

This same thing also happened to me once when the disk was full.

Cheers,

Paul

Well,I was always using a local user account since I'm just using Gentoo  
on my PC for my own daily stuff.And this never happened before.

Good news here, I added

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

to my /etc/resolv.conf,logout and login,no pause before splash  
appeared.Then I rebooted,/etc/resolv was automatically changed back and  
the PAUSE came back. I then  used the "chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" command  
to avoid resolv.conf being changed when rebooting.Rebooted and everything  
is clear now!Thanks all for your advice!

You can set the defaults for resolv.conf in the net file. Here is mine:

config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcp_eth0="nodns"
dns_servers_eth0="8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"

That should fix it as it should be without force. Yea, I had to dig. I'm
getting old or something. :/

Copy that.Seen this on the Internet,I am just being lazy and pick the most  
easy and "violent" method  to get it all done :)
