Hello, This morning I had a sudden electric interruption and when my mail machine (running Mepis Linux / Ubuntu basis) "recovered", I only had a blue screen (because I have a blue wallpaper). Now I've checked the file systems, but tthe problem remains: the system starts fine, until KDE starts, it then remains stuck a long time saying "initializing peripherals", and then loads the blue screen, totaly empty and reactig to nothing. I first thought some configuration files had been damaged, but this also happens if log in as root, so the problem is deeper... It's not such a problem, because I was in the process of transferring my system to OpenSuSE but i?d like to find the logs to understand what went broke. However I don't find them, so I guess I'm not searching the right place. Thierry ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
