Description thiago 2009-11-12 19:15:11 UTC

Version:           KDE session (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have been using kubuntu 9.04 and try to upgrade to 9.10. Starting the computer by LiveCd, it seems ok (I have download DVD .iso and CD .iso) but when appears kde screen loading the system it falls in a kind of looping: the icons representing the loading begins to show and break, starting the process again (as a kind of looping). Few days ago, I have upgraded 9.10 by the KPackageKit and the problem remained the same; however, I select the old kernel on grub boot and this make the system run (after this, some lib upgrade broke down the system again! Unfortunaly, I can not remember exactly what file was upgraded...). So, I have rise a hypothesis about this: it would be some problem about my video hardware or with my motherboard. I would like some ideas how to solve this. I run Fedora and Mandriva systems with KDE and the same problem occurs; so, the problem must be about KDE new interface (KDE 4.2 works). I do not also know how to describe or to inform this bug in a more appropriate way; I do hold that the problem should be about VIA AGP Onboard. Thanks. 
I'm using a desktop Semp Toshiba Celeron D326 2.58 Ghz, Chipset VIA P4M800 Pro, VIA VT8237, 1 Gb RAM, 2 SATA HD 40Gb, VGA onboard VIA P4M800 Pro, AOC F19 18,5 Wildscreen.

I've read about something similar into other forums (I don't remember if in opensuse, archlinux or both of them)... 

are you using autologin?

At beginning yes, but even on session the problem remains...
