Hi Cindy,
you helped a lot. Indeed, I've moved all dot files and folders into
backup and even problematic user is able to log in.
However, first configuration step brings X11 to the knees, crashing and
then I'm seeing login windows again. So I guess this is the real culprit
of what happened on problematic user. The step to duplicate is this:
hardware: amd64 + radeon R5? 230 + 2 monitors connected. One connected
to DVI, one to VGA. Monitor connected to VGA is on the left and rotated
to the portrait position.
- what I do to crash is:
- start Settings
- search for 'disp'
- select Display Configuration node
- move VGA monitor from right to left
- select rotation on left monitor (rotate 90 clockwise)
- hit 'Apply' button
^ and right after hitting Apply I get crash.
IMPORTANT: if I do *NOT* rotate left monitor, if I just move it from
right to left, X11 are able to survive! If I do *NOT* move VGA monitor
from right to left, but just rotate it, I will get again immediate crash.
Conclusion: my X11 crashes since Feb 24 update on monitor rotation on R5
230 GPU.
Question: is there any forum where should I report this conclusion to
get attention of the X11 packagers/developers?
Thanks!
Karel

Hello Karel,
please try it with a temporary clean profile.
thanks for the idea, indeed after creating a random new and clean user
and attempt to log into the Plasma (X11) session I went in well.
On my problematic user I tried to rename some .cache and .config dirs to
remove possibility of corrupted config but this still does not help.
Do you have any idea where everywhere KDE stores its bits of data? Ref
to web page describing this will be enough so I can debug the issue and
find the culprit behind this issue...
When I'd encounter something like this, one of the things that worked
for me was to rename (dot)Xauthority in the user's home directory. My
memory is that the file would be recreated during a (FINALLY)
successful login.
If that doesn't work, how I tripped over that was by going into the
file manager (Thunar in XFCE4) and sorting files by newest modified
dates. That hinted at what files might have been most recently touched
and thus might be a possible culprit.
Good luck!
Cindy :)
