Hi all,
This morning on start-up I get a black screen with just the mouse indicator on it. Nothing has been removed during the latest d-u's.
I have the same behaviour with older kernel. I can reach yakuake, so it seems init 5 is somehow there.

What can I do/check?

Xorg.0.log shows no EE:

paste.siduction.org/20131005094739

Dmesg grep fail provides nothing.

Var/log/kern.log is:

paste.siduction.org/20131005095911

can you please elaborate a bit on the black screen? when exactly does this happen? how can you reach yakuake if you have a black screen?

there are warnings about vertical framerate (VertRefresh)... maybe this is a hint.


do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf that tells xorg to use nvidia driver? please paste it, too...

mine is:
Section "Device"
       Identifier      "Device 0"
       Driver          "nvidia"
       BusID           "PCI:2:0:0"
       Option          "NoLogo"        "true"
EndSection


bus id you get via: lspci | grep VGA

Hi absolut,

I could solve this at the end by a hint from irc to kill .kde. Thanks!
