So the tde failure on xorg 1.12 seems to be limited
to the initialization
process when the splash screen is running (ksplash maybe?).
What I need is to
identify what is running when the crash occurs to help
narrow it down. I'm not
familiar with the 'startup sequence' so it would help if
somebody who know could
chime in.
The best I can describe the point at which the crash
occurs is this: The
splash screen gets to the 'hard drive icon' (Initializing
system services) chugs
away for a while and then crashes. I also notice that during
this part of the
startup, there is no background image shown as it was
originally. Now only a
light-blue desktop color is shown. Can somebody help fill in
the list of
potential processes running at this point so I can take a
look? I can think of
one to add:
List of potential processes:
ksplash
What else is running at this point in time?
Is this a virtual or physical machine?
Have you tried temporarily changing the video drivers to vesa?
Are you starting X from the command line or TDM?
If starting from TDM do you notice any problems at that point (you mention hanging at the
login splash image)?
Have you tried with a new profile (rename the existing profile)?
