Hi list, I have compiled KDE 3.1.5 from the sources using QT-3.2.3 on a SuSE 7.3 with kernel 2.6.0 and XFree 4.2.0. It runs very well for just two days. Then I had a crash. I have stopped the session with ctrl-alt-backspace. Since that time I cannot start KDE 3.1.5. When starting kdm in runlevel 5 /var/log/messages shows: Jan 26 21:34:14 server kdm[11753]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jan 26 21:34:14 server kdm[11753]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 Jan 26 21:34:16 server kdm[11770]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jan 26 21:34:16 server kdm[11770]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 Jan 26 21:34:19 server kdm[11778]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jan 26 21:34:19 server kdm[11778]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 Jan 26 21:34:22 server kdm[11786]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jan 26 21:34:22 server kdm[11786]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 Jan 26 21:34:22 server kdm[11751]: Display :0 is being disabled (restarting too fast) If I start KDE with the "startx" command .X.err shows: XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
