There is a case statement there saying which environment to start up in. Xsession gets this information from kdm when you choose the environment/tab. In kde, run kdmconfig. In Sessions tab, there is a list of available session types. These must be the same as the one in the case statement in Xsessions (same spelling and case etc). -- John__ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quis custodiet ipsos custodes icq: thales @ 17755648
Re: can't login with kdm
make sure your not using any kde2 packages, i had a similar problem when i tried to install kde2. if your not using kde2 then it sounds like a misconfigured windowmanager, i'd start X from 'startx' (as root) and run the kcontrol program(part of kdebase i believe) and check the configuration of KDM (via the 'login' settings) nate On Sat, 29 Jul 2000, Dan Pomohaci wrote: dan Hi, dan dan I can't login with kdm.

Xdm works fine but dan gdm has the same behavior. dan This problem appears after some upgrade in potato two weeks ago. The dan kde I use is from kde.tdyc.com but I don't think is kde fault because dan before these potato upgrades the same kde version worked OK. dan dan Thanks, dan Dan Pomohaci dan dan dan -- dan Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null dan ::: http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:08pm up 11 days, 20:35, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Just su -c 'kdmconfig' to start up kdmconfig with root priveliges. -- John__ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quis custodiet ipsos custodes icq: thales @ 17755648
