Description RussianNeuroMancer 2010-04-29 13:19:30 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

On each login into the KDE starts kblankscrn.kss application, and show just black window. Why? For what?
Comment 1 Oswald Buddenhagen 2010-05-02 09:52:38 UTC 
did you by any chance configure auto-login and check the "lock session" box?
Comment 2 Oswald Buddenhagen 2010-05-02 11:01:54 UTC 
an alternative explanation would be a messed up power saving profile.

No, auto-login not configured, lock session box not checked, screensaver not enabled.

What you mean?

system settings => power management => edit profiles
Comment 5 RussianNeuroMancer 2010-05-02 12:54:56 UTC 
I know, but what you mean when say "messed up"?
Comment 6 Oswald Buddenhagen 2010-05-02 13:00:48 UTC 
e.g., "when system is idle for more than" "0m" "lock screen".
an alternative would be "general settings" => "lock screen on resume" and it tries to "do something" immediately after logging in, but fails and only the lock is left behind.
Comment 7 RussianNeuroMancer 2010-05-02 13:08:56 UTC 
No, I check all profile - all is fine, looks like default profiles.
Comment 8 Oswald Buddenhagen 2010-05-02 13:13:44 UTC 
that's weird.

try "ps xuf". is it obvious what launched the process?
if not, replace the executable with a script which calls that command and check ~/.xsession-errors after a re-start.
Comment 9 RussianNeuroMancer 2010-05-19 10:20:44 UTC 
The problem is not reproduced for me in Kubuntu 10.04 LTS release.
Probably this bug is fixed after update from Beta to Release version of Kubuntu 10.04 LTS.
