Re: no kdm after 2.2->2.4

2005-08-11 Thread Joe Mc Cool



I can run X ok and startkde, but I need kdm to provide user logins a
la kde.



A line in /etc/init.d/kdm features the debug level.  I uncommented this 
and now kdm presents a login fine (irrespective of kernel), but very, 
very slowly.


But - wait for it - I re-commented the bebug line and kdm still works, 
and still very, very slowly.   Strange !


At least I am making progress.

Thanks for a super system.

Joe

I have just just upgraded from woody to sarge, no problem.

But when I upgrade from the 2.2.20 kernel to 2.4.27-2-686, kdm will
not start.

In /var/log/syslog I get error messages like:

Jun 27 17:47:24 solaris kdm: :0[610]: Hung in XOpenDisplay(:0),
aborting Jun 27 17:47:24 solaris kdm: :0[610]: Cannot connect to :0,
giving up Jun 27 17:47:24
[...]
I can run X ok and startkde, but I need kdm to provide user logins a

With kernel 2.2.20 everything runs fine.
   



Can you find any useful information in /var/log/kdm.log?
 


The only mention there is that:


Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated 
messages

(i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the
daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to 
which
file(s) it is logged. PAM logs messages related to authentication to 
authpriv.*.



A grep for kdm in /var/log/* reveals nothing bar the messages above in 
syslog.


Note that I can start X ok and run ordinary applications like xterm, kde 
etc.


in /etc/init.d if I try ./kdm start it tells me that kdm is already 
runing and a ps -ef | grep kdm confirms this, but I have no kdm login.   
If I try ./kdm restart it reports that it has restarted, but the ps -ef 
| grep kdm reports on kdm processes running and again, no kdm login.


All I am stuck for is the kdm login.

thanks a lot.

Joe
