I had no configuration for reportbug (1st time use). And it showed
nothing until I ran it alone, and answered the question. 'guess I should
report a bug about reportbug ;-)

Right.

I had tried everything you said, and ended up reinstalling completely
kdm, and then it worked again. Now, I've understood that if I ever configure
anything from the control center, next kdm run will fail as I described. My
understanding is that kdm_config or whatever outputs wrong configuration files
(should be 2.2) that a next kdm instance is unable to parse.

I could do this again and send you diff of the files if you whish, but I'm in
a hurry right now so I gotta go (I wanted to let you know before leaving my
office).


Here's the kdm output in daemon.log anyway:

Well, if you insist in using apt-cache then better use apt-cache policy kdm ;)

Eh? I'm using sarge

$ reportbug --template kdm | wc -l
52
$ reportbug --version
reportbug 2.63

Okay, back to topic ;)  Did you try

/etc/init.d/kdm restart

maybe some share libs stuff broke kdm.  Does

grep kdm /var/log/daemon.log

show any strange messages?

Did you try to search if others had already the problem?
I know there were several problems related to kdm 3.3 but
because I'm using sarge I did not follow closely.  Try

o  reportbug kdm# and check the contents of related bug
o  search kde-debian mailing list archive

Hmmm. 2.2.2-14.7 was the contents of the Version line from "apt-cache
show". The version displayed by dpkg -l kdm is 3.3.0-1.

I'd like to, but reportbug --template kdm outputs nothing ... :-/

Hi,

uh? kdm in unstable is 4:3.3.0-1.  kdm 2.2.2 sounds like your using woody.
Assuming your using unstable:
Please make sure that you're pkgs are up to date  'apt-get -u dist-upgrade'
then send us the output of 'reportbug --template kdm'.

Hi !

As of my upgrade this morning (but it's been 14 days since my last X
shutdown), KDM doesn't display the login window anymore: it only displays the
background image. I can't enter my username and password.

Thanks !
