+<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Johnny A. Solbu at 15/08/12 11:43 did gyre and gimble:
+&gt;<i> I finally managed to complete the usrmove conversion, and today KDE failed.
+</I>&gt;<i> When login in it complaiins: &quot;Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation&quot;. Same happens with startx.
+</I>&gt;<i> When I manually launch /usr/bin/ksmserver in a terminal, it segfaults.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> kdebase4-workspace is the newest package, which was installed after completing the usrmove.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that this is *caused* by
+the usrmove. Once it's done, there is very little it does in and off
+itself to get in the way. All the paths that worked before still work.
+The only difference would be if some code does some strange things with
+checking folders in /bin /sbin, /lib* etc. which is very, very unlikely.
+
+A more likely fallout is the conversion of /var/run and /var/lock to
+symlinks to /run. This speeds up boot by a few seconds (I've seen
+mandriva-clean-var-run-lock.service taking &gt;5s on some machines with
+slow disks) so it's a very useful change.
+
+That said there are still a few pagages that need fixing up for this:
+
+urpmf &quot;/var/(run|lock)&quot; | grep &quot;:/var&quot;
+
+About 87 packages in total. Perhaps one of them is to blame for your
+problem, but it doesn't look immediately obvious that any of those
+packages would cause any problems. Maybe policykit, but even then I'm
+not sure.
