problem with KDE xorg and hanging system

I wanted to install dvi reader,but my pacman told me that there is "/etc/skel/.bashrc" and it will not install package...
I told pacman -Sf kdegraphics bash
Now I have hanging up  system.... when I'm trying to startx, but it is very interesting to note that framebuffer works well...
but before i didn't see booting processes in a framebuffer

it is also hang up a system and ssh if  I want to use vim ....
but nano works well!

Re: problem with KDE xorg and hanging system

Don't you already have bash? Try just "pacman -Sf kdegraphics". I think pacman is trying to overwrite /etc/skel/.bashrc when it tries to install bash.

Re: problem with KDE xorg and hanging system

Do you get any error messages when you try "startx"? And if so, what are they?

No, The system just hang up! But there is a cross cursor in the middle of monitor and black screen with a colored line weight by 1px in the bottom...
Cursor doesn't moving...
In the /var/log/X.0.log there is no line with EE
the same problem appears if i use vim...

config file of Xorg doesn't changed for months...

Re: problem with KDE xorg and hanging system

That's strange... What does your ~/.xinitrc have set to run?
