 Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2004 10:41 pm Post subject: kde 3.3.1 freezes when loading |
 |
|
i recently emerge kde 3.3.1, upgrading from 3.3, and after emerge finished its job, i had a power cut 
after i reopened my system, i checked if kde is compiled correctly, and it seems right. but kde won't load, it freezes during the splash screen displaying "initializing system services"...
i hava no idea about what might have happened.. so i dunno which logs to post for now..
(i remerged kde and it didn't help. alsa, when i change XSession in rc.conf to XSession, instead of kde, X won't start either. (so i remerged Xorg 6.8, but didn't help) ).
any suggestions? |

| Try it under a new user or move/delete your .kde* directories and try again. |

I'm having the same problem...
But it doesn' t freeze, it just take a loooong time to start up.
It was working OK before the upgrade to 3.3.1 too, and recently I've upgraded to Xorg and 2.6 kernel (with 2.6 headers), but it was working OK with KDE3.3
Is there any place where KDE put it's logs? I just cant find them. May be there is some sort of log about it.
Thanks.

Well,
It happens that I've changed some IPTABLES rule, and forgot to allow connections from the loopback interface (LO).
Now it's working like a charm...
May be that's your problem too.
Take a look at your iptables options with

oh my gosh - that MUST be the problem! i can't test it for 2 hours (as i just emerged xfree to see if the problem remains and am now recompiling xorg).
we use wireless connection at the university and as a friend of mine has an apple notebook with no wireless card running under linux i serve as a gateway via the ethernet interface. i use iptables for that - and the freezes (which in fact aren't freezes) happened every time after routing as i now remember. tonight i just got the great idea of saving these rules so i wouldn't have to run the script every time he connects and that's way i can't use kde anymore! you don't know how lucky i am you solved my problem - i'd never have found that out (i was completely looking at the wrong place). THANKS!

I had the same problem restlekak was having, but I didn't have iptables/netfilter installed. I looked at the output of ifconfig -a and saw that it didn't have an ip assigned to loopback. I ran ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 and now everything magically works better.
