KDE hanging

Hi

I'm using KDE on FreeBSD 14.2.  I haven't yet put sddm and dbus in 
rc.conf, so I'm launching them from the login console. This evening when 
I started the desktop and opened a couple of windows the desktop became 
unresponsive.

I switched to a tty, and since the last thing that I installed was 
apache openoffice I tried to uninstall that. It took ages (well over an 
hour and also failed to complete, stopping at 100%). I rebooted and 
redid the pkg delete. I started KDE. Locked up again. So I thought maybe 
something is wrong in ~/.config. So I renamed it to .config.bak and 
rebooted. KDE still locked up.

I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions as to what is going wrong?

I'll try again and see if the system is also bogged down from an ssh 
connection when KDE is locked up.


A+

Paul
