Latest update wont allow KDE to run... (in VirtualBox)

Hello, have similar issues with Slackware, since the latest Xorg updates I cant run KDE anymore. I am using VBox 3.2.10, so thats not the issue, i suppose.

Here is the error from kdm.log:

Code:

KCrash: Application 'kdmgreet' crashing...

Fatal server error:

Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting

Also when the system is booting I get a warning like this:

Code:

WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.

Same here in a "real" machine. I start at runlevel 3 and when I "startx" => KDE I get the same backtrace (but in Xorg.0.log, not in kdm.log, obvioulsy)

But :
- at first X seems to start, I can see the KDE greeting screen for some seconds,
- X starts fine => fluxbox

I append Xorg.0.log.

I get the same issue... kind of :)

@Didier_Spaier - I have been comparing your Xorg.0.log file with mine from my Slackware 32 bit setup running the nouveau driver where all is OK.
I see this

Quote:

[ 921.670] (**) Option "AIGLX" "false"

I do not have this in my xorg.conf.

Also I note this

Quote:

[ 921.675] (--) using VT number 8

whereas I see

Quote:

[ 54.075] (--) using VT number 7

I had a problem which showed this switch in VT numbers. I found it was due to an old static libGL.a file in /usr/lib. After deleting the old file, all was OK.

Well I don't have libGL.a, so thats not the issue!

@allend

I have been using the option "AIGLX" "false" for months to avoid a (non hurting, I admit) AIGLX error in Xorg.0.log, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/...8AIGLXerror.29.

About the VT number, all I can tell is I don't have libGL.a either.

In fact I have no old files as I made a fresh install of current (not an upgrade).

Thanks anyway.

Downgrade mesa -
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post4159752

Had the same issue with VMware, and this solved it. I'm building KDE 4.5.3 now, against the new mesa to see if that also works.

But I have mesa 7.9 on my Slackware-13.1 as well and no issue in that case :scratch:

Downgrade to which version, I dont know which version was before...

OK, downgraded Mesa to version 7.8.2 and everything works. Well thanks for the the help... and those who wanna fix their issue with X+KDE then downgrade Mesa to version 7.8.2

It's still crashing, but X and KDE work:

Or stay with Mesa 7.9 and disable compositing:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

This works here, so I will keep Mesa 7.9

I have a nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1) and don't use the blob.

SIGTERM to children
/home/user/.kde/socket-user/kdeinit4_0: No such file or directory
FAILED to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-62mVzAerCW

any ideas on that problem?

You're right, disabling composite works with Mesa 7.9.

If you would have bothered to read the link I posted, it does not get any clearer than that --- gives you a direct link to the package, reasons why Pat uploaded the package and in that thread even the disable composite bits ;)
