00:10.30jh_mobileI just had a keyboard driver failure and could not shut down.  I suppose I could have gone to another system and tried ssh to shut down, but I powered off.  Now I can't log in with KDM.  Another account on this machine can log in.  I can log in in console mode, launch X, and get my KDE session.  I have deleted everything in /tmp.  This is the second time this has happened to one of my systems.  I am not finding anything in the main syslog.
00:10.39jh_mobileAny suggestions for troubleshooting this?

00:27.09phraganyone know how i can stop x or kde listening on 30000... i load kdm -nolisten and have edited /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xservers and changed to ':0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -nolisten tcp' but something is still listen on that port, just as kde is 'Intialising System Services', as i monitored this with netstat -l. Any idea's?

01:12.15marcusUmobtek: I just had a lot of early experiences with crashing in KSpread. And I had some frightening problems where the only copy of my document was in KWord, and KWord refused to print because of some stray formatting or Qt-Postscript problems.
01:12.28mobtekheh
01:13.22smt_I still don't think koffice can be considered 1.0-ware, but certain parts of it are becoming very nice now

01:15.33smt_hmm.. weird, I changed my email earlier on b.k.o and it worked
01:15.42smt_earlier today, rather
01:16.05sirReali tried once about 3mo ago, and again last week
01:16.17sirReali'd really like to report some bugs :\
01:16.46smt_hmm.. try making a yahoo account, logging in, and  changing your email from within bugzilla
01:16.47smt_:)
01:17.07sirRealbah don't you have to give them tons of info?
01:17.21sirRealactually i do have a few accounts. lemme try with another.
01:17.27smt_doesn't mean it has to be real :-)
01:17.38smt_you're only going to use it once ;)
01:17.46sirRealhehe
01:18.19sirRealman i dislike bugzilla quite a lot
01:18.46sirReali wish b.k.o used debbugs :)
01:18.51smt_have you tried any non-kde bugzilla's? they are so much worse :)
01:19.01smt_than kde's at least
01:19.08smt_yeah, b.k.o used to use debbugs
01:19.14sirRealyeah but what is this 'search only' crap
01:19.25smt_erm?
01:19.33sirRealthere must be *trillions* of duplicate reports :)
01:20.10smt_it automatically searches while submitting bugs
01:20.31smt_and people with bug-commiting access can automatically search for dups
01:20.40sirRealwell i still see all the dupes
01:20.42marcusUAt some people, do the bug reports just get thrown out?
01:20.50marcusUI mean, there are lot of bug reports from KDE 2.x
01:21.06smt_marcusU: if they aren't valid with current versions of kde, they get resolved
01:21.11smt_marcusU: however, many are still valid
01:21.13sirReali really like debbugs' interface a lot better
01:21.17smt_sirReal: bug numbers? :)
01:21.22*** part/#kde FrostByte (~frostbyte@clt25-94-213.carolina.rr.com)
01:21.44sirRealsmt_: that, package-based organization, and that i can modify them easily
01:22.04sirRealand they get archived after some time being close
01:22.20sirRealclosed... but they do show for a couple weeks after they're closed
01:22.34smt_sirReal: that is probably not something we'd want with kde, I think
01:22.43smt_sirReal: since a lot of old bugs are in fact, valid
01:23.04sirRealsmt_: unless they're closed, why is that a problem?
01:23.15sirRealsmt_: and if they are, they shouldn't be
01:23.33smt_yeah, that's what I mean
01:23.40smt_non-resolved bugs that are valid :)
01:24.22smt_what we probably need is more people looking for dups and such
01:24.46sirRealhmm... well, kde's bugzilla by default shows even resolved bugs, and debbugs shows all open and some recently-closed bugs.
01:24.56sirReal(but not long-resolved ones)
01:25.13smt_ah, I don't think you've seen the interface after logging in, have you?
01:25.25sirReali'm logged in now actually
01:25.33smt_ah
01:26.35smt_hmm.. if you disagree with that default behavior, I'm sure it can be changed.. perhaps something for discussion with the bugzilla maintainers
01:27.31sirRealwell if they moved *away* from debbugs, that's a fundamental interface decision that's opposite to what i prefer, at least given the two to choose from
01:27.44sirReali doubt i'd have much succes :)
01:28.05smt_ah, I'm talking about bugzilla's behavior :)
01:29.14smt_the discussions about why kde moved away from debbugs are still on the mailing lists.. I don't remember anything about the discussion however :)
