Description Ben Levenson 2001-04-07 18:51:46 UTC
kdebase-2.1.1-8
Upgrade 7.0 KDE Workstation -> 7.1 qa0407.0

desktopconv results in sustained cpu load of 95% (or
more) for 5+ minutes.  The X session would not completely 
start up -- I was left with a gray screen and the mouse 
pointer.  I had to exit the process by typing 
<ctl-alt-backspace>.
Reproducibility: this has happened 2 of 3 times that I
have tried to run a KDE session after an upgrade.

steps to reproduce:
1- build 7.0 KDE workstation and open a KDE
   session at least once (before upgrading).
2- upgrade to 7.1
3- startx and see what happens when you ask
   desktopconv to 'convert' the 1.x config
   files.

This only happens the first time you try to run KDE after
the upgrade.  I guess desktopconv only tries to run once
whether it is successful or not.  Any subsequent attempts
to startx after the initial failure are successful.
All 1.X configurations were lost.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-05-22 18:04:38 UTC
This was fixed in time for 7.1
