I have been using KDE for a long long time. Suddenly it's not there any more. I logged out thinking everything was okay, and now I have to use a fluxbox session, because anything else just sends me back to (what I think is) kdm. Anyway it's got a blue background and a KDE logo.
Here's a synopsis (fgrep Started\ncompleted) of the emerges I did in the last couple of days. 1183486760: Started emerge on: Jul 03, 2007 11:19:20 1183486842: ::: completed emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.9 to / 1183487774: Started emerge on: Jul 03, 2007 11:36:14 1183488024: ::: completed emerge (1 of 22) sys-libs/timezone-data-2007f to / 1183488193: ::: completed emerge (2 of 22) dev-libs/pth-2.0.7 to / 1183489113: ::: completed emerge (3 of 22) sys-libs/ncurses-5.6-r1 to / 1183489200: ::: completed emerge (4 of 22) app-editors/nano-2.0.6 to / 1183489358: ::: completed emerge (5 of 22) sys-libs/readline-5.2_p4 to / 1183489390: ::: completed emerge (6 of 22) dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.06 to / 1183489600: ::: completed emerge (7 of 22) sys-devel/libtool-1.5.23b to / 1183489670: ::: completed emerge (8 of 22) dev-perl/DBI-1.56 to / 1183489741: ::: completed emerge (9 of 22) sys-process/psmisc-22.5 to / 1183489943: ::: completed emerge (10 of 22) app-text/iso-codes-0.58 to / 1183492488: Started emerge on: Jul 03, 2007 12:54:48 ... oops had to manually download the JDK binary. 1183493412: Started emerge on: Jul 03, 2007 13:10:12 1183493813: ::: completed emerge (1 of 12) dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.15 to / 1183499330: ::: completed emerge (2 of 12) sys-libs/glibc-2.5-r4 to / 1183499716: ::: completed emerge (3 of 12) sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1 to / 1183499736: ::: completed emerge (4 of 12) kde-base/kdebase-pam-7 to / 1183500030: ::: completed emerge (5 of 12) dev-libs/elfutils-0.127 to / 1183500134: ::: completed emerge (6 of 12) dev-libs/boehm-gc-6.8 to / 1183503914: ::: completed emerge (7 of 12) dev-db/unixODBC-2.2.12 to / 1183504065: ::: completed emerge (8 of 12) x11-libs/libsexy-0.1.10 to / 1183504272: ::: completed emerge (9 of 12) x11-libs/libwnck-2.16.3 to / 1183504390: ::: completed emerge (10 of 12) x11-misc/notification- daemon-0.3.6-r1 to / 1183504517: ::: completed emerge (11 of 12) x11-libs/libnotify-0.4.3 to / 1183504672: ::: completed emerge (12 of 12) gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.6 to / I suppose there might be something going on with kdebase-pam (4 of 12), but I don't really know how to tell, or what to do at this point to get it back. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
