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?

Not I, and this sounds pretty nasty. I'd love to have a look inside. ;-)
