Description turmoil78 2011-01-20 08:23:38 UTC 
Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I had a Debian Lenny system and upgraded it from Lenny to Squeeze without getting any problem. But after the first reset of the system, system showed KDM properly. But, when I enter my user name and password, system resets itself. I also cannot pass console screens by pressing <ctrl + alt + Fx> keys at this state. If I power cycle the desktop PC and don't enter user name/pass at the KDM screen, then I can switch with <ctrl+alt+fx>. I tried to downgrade to lenny at this stage but nothing has changed. So; I had to install a clean Lenny system.

Yesterday, I tried to start my desktop PC with "kubuntu-10.10-dvd-i386.iso" image, same thing happens with that distribution also. I think there is incompability with my desktop and KDE 4. 

P.S. I install both images at my other PC via "VirtualBox", they are both working fine...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start the system with KDE 4.

Actual Results:  
I see KDM screen without any problem (no resolution problem etc.). When I enter my user name&password, it shows "KDE initialization" screen for just 2-3 seconds and then system goes back to KDM screen. I don't see any error reported at ctrl + alt + fx virtual consoles...
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2011-01-20 22:10:18 UTC 
Some things you could check:

- $HOME/.xsession-errors should contain valuable information about the last action before the crash or other bug that leads to the log out

- Start with a new user account as it may be possible that some of the old configuration prevents a correct KDE start

- Start in "fail save" X11 mode (i.e. with only xterm as the "session"), and run "startkde" manually from this terminal so that you can see what happens during startup
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2011-01-20 22:13:09 UTC 
Forgot the most important thing: It is possible that the video drivers don't properly handle the OpenGL acceleration that KWin tries to use, so you could change to "Enabled=false" in section [Compositing] in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kwinrc to check if this is really the issue.
Comment 3 turmoil78 2011-02-18 20:46:34 UTC 
Hello Christoph,

Sorry for the late reply.
I installed gnome to my PC and tried to re-install "kde-desktop" components if there is something missing. 
Issue with my kde is still valid but I can use graphical desktop with gnome.

Here is my "$HOME/.xsession-errors":

----------------

I created a new user, but issue remains same...

-----------

I tried to manually give startkde command. Is there any way to copy its output? It gave some information about some KDE  folders and then it stopped...

Comment 4 turmoil78 2011-02-18 22:15:21 UTC 
I forgot to mention something about the "new user":

Same thing happens with Paul Bryan Roberts from url:
http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-608129-kdm-kdm-login-kde-fails-after-upgrade-installlation-squeeze-beta-2-help-201632352.html

The KDM login screem appears (kdm_greet), I enter user id and password and press return. Screen goes blank, very briefly a white window appears in the top left of the screen, and then I find myself looking at the tty1 console login.The kdm_greet process is gone but kdm is still running. However the X session cannot be recovered.

Also,
when I give startkde command it says "Kaboom cannot connect to X Server"

Thanks
