I updated on wednesday and noticed the problem after booting on thursday morning. The problem persisted two reboots. After each boot "/etc/init.d/xdm start" was issued several times followed by stopping with pkill xdm and checking with ps. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

Bug#438196: Bug #438196: xdm does not create /var/run/xdm.pid
Hi, as mentioned before I noticed some problems with xdm 1.1.5-1. An other problem was reported in bugreport #438200. Julien Cristau made very fast a new build (1:1.1.5-2). This resolved #438200. Unfortunately I did not check for #438196 so I noticed few minutes ago that it seams that the /var/run/xdm.pid problem disappeared. Markus -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Bug#438196: xdm does not create /var/run/xdm.pid
Hi, thanks for your immediate answer! > We have multiple bug reports [1] about problems related to xdm > startup/exit/pidfile, I guess we need to cleanup some mess here... I checked the bug reports > #270393 ==> PIDFILE removal problem > #343386 ==> PIDFILE removal problem, maybe permission problem > #334461 ==> ? > #372114 ==> accidental removal > #382037 ==> no PIDFILE generated (?) > #398917 ==> incompatible xdm locations It seems that every new release introduces new bugs! Fortunately I had few problems on my machine but I could understand that pkgsrc (NetBSD, DragonFly, ...) dropped the xdm package. I tested gdm and kdm as an alternative but I use icewm and so I consider xdm as the maximal acceptable overhead. Maybe is should return to startx :-( Markus -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?

Bug#438196: xdm does not create /var/run/xdm.pid
Package: xdm Version: 1:1.1.5-1 Severity: important It noticed some problems with xdm 1.1.5-1. One problem is that a start via /etc/init.d/xdm does not create the PIDFILE /var/run/xdm.pid. So it is not possible to stop the xdm with /etc/init.d/xdm: # /etc/init.d/xdm stop Stopping X display manager: xdm not running (/var/run/xdm.pid not found). -- Pt!
