Check etc-update to see if there any config files that need to be updated.

Hi

Check the permissions on

/dev/null

If these are not

crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 1, 3 Jul 11 19:32 /dev/null

then please run
env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update

All the best

Hi,

I'm using KDE 3.4.
Since few days ago I can't login using KDM.
The login process can't pass the "initializing peripherals" stage.
I can see that there are two processes running kded (one of the is the
father of the other) which I can't kill.
After rebooting the machine I can login once and then the probelm
returns.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This kind of problem is usually some type of permissions issue.  Maybe it's
related to the hidden .ICE-unix, .X0-lock, or .X11-unix in /tmp.  Try
logging in as root and/or bypass kdm with startx.  Did you get anything in
/var/log/kdm.log?
