Bug 61811 – After upgrade to kde-env-3-r3.ebuild KDE locks up on start

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Stuart W. Finlayson 2004-08-26 07:35:47 UTC]

I upgraded to kde-env-3-r3.ebuild and when KDE starts everything looks fine, but no key presses are detected (both keyboard and mouse) and the icons on the kicker panel aren't even "highlighted" when the mouse hovers over them.  

It seems the KDE_MALLOC=1 (added to resolve bug #60771) is the culprit, because commenting that out in /etc/env.d/99kde-env makes the problem go away.

Not sure if this matters, but I'm using media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6111 and media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6111.

Interesting.  This is indeed experimental.   It works pretty good here, in fact, it's considerably faster, but I don't know if it will work in all environments.

This has managed to fix itself, so to speak, with the upgrade to 3.3.0.  Don't know whether it was a compile thing or a version thing, but after I upgraded I uncommented that line and it works fine now.

closing.
