KDE hangs when logging out

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0, 1st Edition

Symptom:

You start the KDE Desktop without problems, but when you try to log out, the computer hangs. The last words on your screen are:
Waiting for X-Server to shutdown
Sometimes you get the message:
starting audio server with talk id (some number)
This mistake occurs after configuration after an update.

Reason:

The reason for this is partly due to a mistake in kaudioserver, and partly due to a problem with XFree 3.3.3.

Solution:

1. Approach:

Deactivate the kaudioserver, by adding comment symbols in front of the following two lines in the /opt/kde/bin/startkde file:

startifthere kaudioserver
startifthere kwmsound

This should prevent the error from occuring again. Unfortunately the sound in KDE windowmanager will also be disabled, which is only a small inconveinience.

2. Approach:

If the error message still occurs, you might consider updating to XFree 3.3.3.1. A description of this is given on: Updating to XFree86-3.3.3.1

In particular, the package xshared should be updated, it is possible that it alone could fix teh problem.
