I'm trying to help a friend of mine install KDE 3.0.3. I added the kde.org apt lines and installed arts, kdebase and kdelibs. KDM starts up fine. However, when he logs in it literally takes about 5 min for him to see a desktop. The little splash screen pops up and it gets to "starting system services" and goes no further. Then the splash screen disappears after a couple minutes. And it sits there looking at the background image. And then after a bit more time the desktop comes up.
I can only guess that it's waiting on some device to time out or something. I see nothing strange in the .xsession_errors file. Anyone have any ideas? Saadiq
