I just updated KDE to 4.5.5 on openSUSE 11.2. I get the kde login

log in to KDE, the screen turns white and then black. I get an arrow
cursor. Nothing more. I can restart the X server with the ctrl-backspace
sequence. X is running. The cursor moves. I never get the KDE busy
cursor one sees when KDE is starting.
The repo KDE came from is:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/45/openSUSE_11.2/
The chipset is an ATI ES1000. It runs as a non 3D chip. Nothing fancy.
I forced a reinstall of the packages in this repo. No difference.
I tried adding a new user jic. No difference. I see (on a virtual
terminal) that many kde apps are running. But I cannot tell if one is
'stuck' or some important one is missing.
Of course I am at a remote site with limited time. Could it be any other
way? I am sure this is the same release of KDE that I am running on a
few other systems (different hardware of course). I did not expect a
problem.
Hi Roger
Tricky situation!
What last worked? Did you upgrade from 11.2's default KDE 4.3 to 4.5?
First get some verbose debug (if kwriteconfig doesn't work then the
installation is borked at a package consistency level).
kwriteconfig --file kdebugrc --key DisableAll false
Then I'd look at .xsession-errors or start KDE from a text console (export
WINDOWMANAGER=`which startkde`, startx -- :1) and look for complaints.
Enable
I'm guessing kwin has a problem - see if the debug output is informative.
Try forcing compositing off (kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group
Compositing --key Enabled true) then logging in. Or try starting a
different window manager inside the running session (icewm --replace).
FWIW I was able to reproduce this behaviour with a vanilla 11.2 in Virtualbox
upgraded to 4.5.5 from KDE:Release:45. I get a black screen whether or not
Virtualbox had 3D acceleration enabled. Disabling compositing in kwinrc
resolved the issue. I don't know yet why kwin didn't fallback to 2D itself.
I don't have time to troubleshoot further today, it's 11.4RC1 checkin deadline
for me and I am preparing for FOSDEM (And KR45 packages are so not on the list
of things I'm supposed to maintain!).
