KDM doesn't work
Hi all! I have installed the KDE 4.6.1 from http://qt-kde.debian.net/ onto my Sid. However, kdm will not start. After booting, when X is started, I'm simply dropped back into text mode. In /var/log/syslog I found the following error message: Apr 8 21:20:51 asus kdm: :0[1839]: Received unknown or unexpected command -2 from greeter Apr 8 21:20:51 asus kdm: :0[1839]: Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 1, signal 0 Any ideas?

The problem is that dannyS's backport/build is too old. Therefore people using woody using the older woody packages are not getting that because xlibs-static-pic wasn't part of that package set IIRC.

For kdeprint use apt-get dist-upgrade. It requires efax or hylafax-client or mgetty-fax, you need to install one of those. The KDM issue is fixed, so you can go ahead and upgrade.

Internationalization of kdm doesn't work
Hi, I'm having a problem with the i18n for the kdm chooser; although I have installed the kde-i18n-de language pack and it contains the correct .mo file for kdmchooser, I only get the English strings in kdmchooser. My kdmrc has the entries [Locale] Country=de Language=de added by the kdm control module. Can anyone verify this? I'm using kdm 2.1.1-3 from Debian unstable.

I get very strange problem too with kdm, the installation of Debian potato Xfree package has solved it. Some time computer science seems to be more "magic" than "scientific"... Alain Aubord P.S. I am working with potato.
kdm doesn't work
kdm doesn't work as expected on my testing/potato installation with kernel 2.4.1, XFree86 4.0.2 and kde 2.1. It logs me in but when I try to log out it hangs tough such that a hard reboot is necessary. I have been using gdm. Does anyone else have the problem? Or is it just another YMMV?
