All,
TDE crash on start:
The big issue is that TDE crashes on start without any apparent error or anything written to .xsession-errors. After selecting the username from the chooser list in tdm and entering the password, the following occurs:
(1) login appears to proceed (2) normal black background and default X-cursor appears (3) 3-5 additional seconds of load takes place, then (4) tde crashes and tdm login re-appears.
So I look around to find out if there are any clues. None apparent. /var/tmp/kdecache-root was created, but nothing in it, then I check disk space left. WTF?? Something has taken 7.8G of room on my / partition and I have no room left on my drive?? Searching...
/var/log/tdm.log 5876092928 - WHAT? 5.8G log file??
I could not preserve the file because I had no way to compress it and git it out of my virtual machine. I'll restart and try and capture a smaller log. What in the heck could be causing tdm.log to explode like this? I know it would help to see what was inside, but that will have to wait until I can get shared folders setup and get another log out of the VM....
Anybody else ever experience this?
You could at least look at its 'tail'. Looks like someone flooded with error message in endless loop.
