Hello,
I recently formatted an acer netbook with intel atom processor, 32 bit, 1.66GHz/1GB RAM, with arch. I installed kde on it, everything went as expected.
However when I log in with a normal user, the KDE start-up completes but the splash screen is stuck. plasma-desktop process is eating 100% CPU. Killing and restarting the process does not help.
I think the machine is dual core, /proc/cpuinfo shows two cores but might be hyper-threaded, am not sure.
I can hit Alt-F2, get a krunner prompt and run applications like konsole but the desktop remain unavailable.
I had just started dbus from rc.conf and created a user as follows
# useradd -m -g users -G audio,video shridhar
And log-in from kdm.
Google is not much of help. Any suggestions before I report the bug upstream?
