kdm error
 

Feisty:
I just did an sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
Everything installed OK but then there were lots of Khandler(?) crashes
- I just clicked thru them (closed them) and logged out (to restart KDE
after all the new KDE stuff got updated). I never got the login screen back.

After trying several things, including booting into rescue mode (startx
works in the root account) I rebooted and was dropped to tty1. I
switched to tty7 and was presented with the following:

Starting K Display Manager: kdm/usr/bin/kdm: error while loading shared
libraries: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libresolv.so.2: ELF file version does not
match current one
already running.
*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]

I was then left with a blinking '-'

Back on tty1 I logged in and tried 'startx' - I got a [brief] splash
screen, then a gray screen with a small x (like the mouse cursor one)
for a moment, then got dropped to back to tty1.

Any ideas on a fix?

Blessings,

Nigel

Remove libc6-i686 and try again. If that works, then try reinstalling
libc6-i686.

This was a _common_ problem in feisty pre-release, but I've never seen it in
stable versions.

Thanks that did it - I think. My daughter had already successfully
started the computer and was using it when I came home from work!
Anyway I did as you suggested and now it starts OK.

Blessings,

btw, this should never happen with gutsy.

The problem occurs (aiui - this is the voice of experience, not that of a
kernel developer!) because you have libc6 and libc6-i686 and the installer
has to update one or the other first - but they both need to be at the same
version! I found it caused so many problems when I was running feisty
pre-release versions that I simply uninstalled libc6-i686 (it only contains
686-optimized versions of functions in libc6) until feisty was officially
released.

Since Gutsy, we now see apt periodically print a message about deferred
libc6 updates, which I believe is intended specifically to prevent this
problem

How?

Why? Did you still need to?
