Been experiencing a sporadic boot problem with KDE.
After the login screen, the KDE boot screen comes on with a hard disk icon the first icon shown on the boot process.
I have had the KDE boot freeze at this point. No further icons shown and the boot essentially stops. I have waited many minutes on a couple of these occasions just to make sure that some slow process wasn't happening.
The only cure is the power switch - turn the unit off and wait 10 to 15 seconds and power on again.
In the past, the problem disappeared on the re-boot.
Today for the first time, the problem re-occurred on the re-boot.
The second re-boot worked.
This is Kubuntu 9.10.
Is this a known problem or is it known if anybody else has experienced this problem.
It is not what I would call a "critical" problem since the power down and re-boot solves the hang and it only occurs occasionally, maybe once a month or so.
But is it maybe a symptom of a deeper problem??
