Re: kdm won't start kde2
Consult the kdm help page and the configcenter helppage in the 'khelpcenter' program. Especially the kdm handbook (html pages like /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kdm/different-window-managers-with-kdm.html ) is very helpful for configuring your problem. just starting 'kcontrol'and going to the loginmanager section could also do the trick. regards, K.

kdm won't start
Hi, after I upgraded to x4.1.0, kde2 wouldn't start anymore. I found out, that some files had moved to other directorys and got 'startx' working. But kdm still isn't working. I then looked through the files located in /usr/X11/kdm but couldn't find an error there (well, no obvious error). Running kdm with the -debug option results in the attached entry in /var/log/daemon.log. Unfortunately, as I have no log of an working kdm here, I can't see an error there, except two things: the file xdm-keys is not present on the System the authdir directory is empty. Anyone an idea?

Thanks js I know this is the M$ way, but I just uninstalled kdm and reinstalled and it worked fine. Oh, and ran dpkg --purge kdm as well. See if that fixes it. David

There has been a fairly major restructuring of kdm, and it does not rely on files in /usr/X11/kdm anymore. Take a look at /usr/share/config/kdm instead (this might have become /etc/kde2/kdm - I am not using .debs but built from source), and in particular the new kdmrc file. -- Alan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk
