OK, now i think i'm a hazard to myself. A couple weeks back i somehow
managed to fubar the runlevel 5 startup on my Redhat box (after
upgrading XFree86 to 4.2.0).
Today, i somehow managed to do the same on my Caldera box. It tries to
go to runlevel5, and bombs immediately with the error "id 'x' respawning
too quickly, disabled for 5 minutes". The thing is, i didn't touch X
at all today. I did manually upgrade alot of packages to their
COL-3.1.1 versions, but none of them were X packages.
If I do a startx, all is peachy, but kdm refuses to run. I looked in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log and there are no errors. The only clue i've got
at the moment is in /var/log/gui where I see *only* the following:
/etc/rc.d/rc.gui: exec: -: not found
rc.gui was last changed on 8/21/01, so i can't quite understand why its
choking now. FWIW, here's what rc.gui looks like:
#! /bin/bash
# $Id: rc.gui,v 1.3 1999/11/12 12:12:59 ray Exp $
#
# KDM *only*! (for now ;^)
exec - > /var/log/gui 2>&1
C=$0; C=${C##*/}
DM=/opt/kde/bin/kdm
XC=/etc/X11/XF86Config
XS=/usr/X11R6/bin/X
FallBack=false
MSG=""
VC=1
if [ ! -x $DM ]; then
MSG="$DM: not installed!"
echo "$C: $MSG" 1>&2
FallBack=true
elif [ ! -r $XC -o ! -x $XS ]; then
MSG="X11: configuration problems!"
echo "$C: $MSG" 1>&2
FallBack=true
fi
if $FallBack; then
chvt $VC
echo -e "\033c\nINIT: $MSG" > /dev/tty$VC
sleep 1
trap "" SIGTERM
telinit 3
sleep 1
echo "Press <return> to contiune." > /dev/tty$VC
else
exec $DM -nodaemon
fi
