Description Roland Walter 2009-03-04 23:49:49 UTC

Version:           4.2.1 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:           the default on openSUSE 11.0
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I want to stop a kde session by using the standard mean for that. When I clicked the button 'Abmelden' nothing happens anymore. I only see that the desktop is very unresponsive and I still may use other applications.

I shut the X-Server down with 'init 2'. I found the following processes with 'ps x':

  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
 3954 tty1     Ss     0:00 -bash
 6325 ?        Sl     0:00 ksmserver
 6327 ?        Z      0:01 [kwin] <defunct>

 6373 ?        Z      0:00 [nepomukservices] <defunct>

 6377 ?        Z      0:00 [python] <defunct>
 6519 ?        Z      0:00 [rm] <defunct>
 6794 tty1     R+     0:00 ps x

I removed the previous directory .kde4 before starting the next session. Then I could logout. But when I logged in and tried to logout again, nothing happened anymore as described above.

This may be related to bug 185419

Comment 2 Roland Walter 2009-03-08 16:55:59 UTC

I have been told, this may be an issue with the NVidia driver for Linux. A system showing the same error, but not mine, did not show the bug anymore with the driver 180.37 on a 64 bit openSUSE 11.1.

Will check this out on a openSUSE 11.0 with 32 bit.

Comment 3 Roland Walter 2009-03-08 17:28:28 UTC

It is a problem with the NVidia driver for Linux.

Version 180.29 and 180.37 work. 180.35 does not.
