I am using Debian sarge (r3) and three weeks ago set up an ADSL broadband account. Everything works well with DHCP and eth 0 on a console and with gnome but when I try to log in with GDM to KDE it hangs while loading peripherals. The same with KDM. At one time it even rebooted but I have been unable to get a repeat of this behaviour. I have re-installed twice just to check but the problem persists.
To me this seems to suggest KDE probably can't locate loopback. On a gnome console kdeinit and kde apps work. So far as I can see loopback is working. Can anyone help me or tell me where to begin looking for the cause of this problem? It may already be a well known problem. So far as I know the DHCP setup provided by my ISP is fairly standard (although I have yet to ask this directly.) many thanks Chris Jones. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
