Last apt-get upgrade broke kdm
After running dselect and updating my packages (among them, the xfree86 packages,) kdm is now broken. When I fire up kdm, X11 starts, then immediately crashes without giving me a kdm login screen. Using startx to bring up an X/KDE session works fine. What happened? How do I fix it? Doug

Authentication seems to be broken due to gcc-3.3. As a workaround you can put Authorize=false in the [X-*-Core] section of /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. Regards, Cajus

Re: Last apt-get upgrade broke kdm
Hi Doug, Yah, this bit me too. Someone has posted a debian bug report already, but here's a solution that another person posted. Edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and change the AuthDir entry to /dev/null [General] AuthDir=/dev/null# /var/lib/kdm ConfigVersion=2.0 PidFile=/var/run/kdm.pid Xservers=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers On Sunday 08 June 2003 04:03 pm, Doug Holland wrote: | After running dselect and updating my packages (among them, the xfree86 | packages,) kdm is now broken.
