Bug#454927: kdebase: KDE fails to start due to ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc

2007-12-08 Thread vesse
Package: kdebase
Version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal

After doing dist-upgrade yesterday KDE failed to start. When splash screen
showed that it is loading the desktop, screen went black and returned to
the login prompt (can't remeber if X restarted).

After file-by-file copying of my original ~/.kde I found out that using a
fresh ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc fixed the problem. I haven't manually
edited the file ever, so I would have expected it to work after
dist-upgrade.

This is what I had in kcminputrc originally:
-
[$Version]
update_info=mouse_cursor_theme.upd:kde3.4.99

[Keyboard]
ClickVolume=0
KeyboardRepeating=true
NumLock=0
RepeatDelay=660
RepeatRate=25

[Mouse]
cursorTheme=
-


And this is what it contained after clean first login:
-
[$Version]
update_info=mouse_cursor_theme.upd:kde3.4.99
-

Bug#454927:

2007-12-14 Thread vesse news
A small update:

I now went to control center to set numlock to be turned on whenever I log
in to KDE. After this, the [Keyboard] section appeared again to my
kcminputrc and login failed the same way again. Now that I had identified
the file causing the issue, I did line-by-line editing on the file and
noticed that the cause of unsuccessful login was the line saying
"NumLock=0". When I removed that from kcminputrc, I could succesfully login
again.
