[Bug 193525] [NEW] [Hardy KDE4] Can't login to KDE4, kdeinit error

Binary package hint: kdebase-bin-kde4

Since an update on 18-Feb-2008 I cannot login anymore on my KDE4
session. Using a new profile doesn't help. Using both nv and nvidia
drivers. Won't work either through sudo or as root.

Apparently a connection with kdeinit4 cannot be established, for what I
could see by login on a raw X session (X && DISPLAY=0:0 xterm),
unfortunately startkde doesn't let me pipe the output to a file. But
kdeinit4_wrapper moans about "/home/USER/.kde4/socket-
HOSTNAME/kdeinit4_0_0" or similar not being found (USER and HOSTNAME are
my username and hostname).

All I can see is the splash screen flashing the first icon (the HDD) for
2 seconds, then KDM appears again.

Some KDE4 apps won't work on KDE3 since then as a result. KDE3 works
flawlessly as usual.

I'm using Hardy. As updated as it can get at the moment, as python-apt
seems to be broken and a few packages (all KDE4 unrelated) can't be
updated until a fix is on the repos.

** Affects: kubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided

         Status: Fix Released
