[kde-freebsd] KDE 4.6.1 Problems"Unable to find an appropriate lock to guard the shared cache"

[Ralf Folkerts]

Hi,

the other day I updated my System which incl. the Update to KDE 4.6.1. I 
did follow the Instructions in UPDATING. When I ran "startx" after the 
Update I did get the KDE Destop, but then it froze (i.e. it didn't react 
to any Key pressed, the mouse didn't work; ctrl-alt-f1 didn't take me to 
the Console). However, ctrl-alt-del did work and reboot the System. I 
then moved ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 out of the way and tried again, as I 
thought that some settings were incompatible. Also cleared /var/tmp and 
/tmp. However, same result.

My ~/.xinitrc contains

/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde4

to start KDE.

I then removed all "kde*" and installed fresh by Installing the kde4 
Meta-Package. However, it still didn't work. I then redirected the 
Output of startkde into a Logfile.

First in this file are several Warnings re. non-XDG-compliant Files:

kbuildsycoca4(1851) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry MimeType 
in "/home/ralf/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-png.desktop" is 
not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).

Then there are lots of warnings re. locking-problems:

Following a load of these messages it seems X11 dies - but does not 
display the console but stays in Graphics-Mode; when I connected to the 
machine through ssh I saw there was no xorg running, as was no 
KDE-Program :-(

When googling for this I did get some hits - but when I wanted to look 
into the Details I ended up in some other thread :-(

Does anyone have an Idea what these errors might be caused by? Any 
hints? Or would I have to rebuild all KDE4 with DEBUG?

Btw: System is FreeBSD-8.2-STABLE amd64.

Would be cool to get a hint how to track this problem...

MTIA, cheers,
