Tim, All,
I've started another thread as I think I have narrowed down the problem I'm
having with TDE on xorg 1.12 to just the initializing of the TDE desktop. As a
test, I launched all the TDE apps that I normally use in fluxbox running on xorg
1.12 -- they all work! Have a look:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tde-in-flux.jpg
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)?

The darn problem seemed to be in starttde with the location of cache files
having changed and init hanging when it got to that point. Somewhere around:

I can't be sure that this is it, but after running the TDE apps from fluxbox

RisaFrickenFrackenFudge!!!
The darn problem seemed to be in starttde with the
location of cache files
having changed and init hanging when it got to that point.
Somewhere around:
Yeah, the most common thing I do when troubleshooting or rebuilding a new package set is
to delete the profile cache files:
rm -f .trinity/cache-$HOSTNAME/ksycoca*
Recently we changed the names of the temp directory locations to avoid conflicts with
KDE4. Although the directory names used within the profile are sand boxed and safe, the
names of the external linked locations was the same for TDE, KDE3, KDE4. Not good.
So yes, the names changed.
I never experienced any problem after the change. Possibly because I routinely rm -f the
cache files in my testing. Still, I wonder whether the name changes will cause problems
for people who don't do that. I wonder whether we should add a snippet in startde to
look for the old names and rm -fr if they exist in order to force creation to the new
linked names.

Maybe you already tried this, but normally when I had problems with
starting KDE/TDE, I would just choose a fail-safe session from KDM. Then
you normally only get an xterm or a konsole. From there I would then run
the startkde/starttde script so all the output would appear in the
terminal as it started up.
An alternative would be to just run an empty X server and use another
terminal (local or maybe ssh) with export DISPLAY=:1 (if you ran X :1)
and run the start script from there.
Normally the problem would be visible as a segfault or something like
that being printed in the terminal.
