Re: Re: kdm not working after upgrade from KDE 3.5 to 4.3.4
I obviously have the same problem. When I launch startkde, I've got this problem : startkde: Starting up... kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/fflorent/.kde/socket-monpc/kdeinit4__0) failed: : Connection refused /usr/bin/startkde: line 410: 7259 Erreur de segmentation kwrapper4 ksmserver $KDEWM startkde: Shutting down... kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/fflorent/.kde/socket-monpc/kdeinit4__0) failed: : Connection refused Error: Can not contact kdeinit4! startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. It seems to be caused by an segmentation fault from ksmserver ... I also tried to reinstall all of my kde packages, that doesn't solve my problem. I have tried to log in many times as suggested on this thread : the problem's still here. But unlike Rémy, I was on kde 4.3. I upgraded the packages yesterday. cheers, Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
kdm not working after upgrade from KDE 3.5 to 4.3.4
Hi all, (this is my first post on this list, please excuse me if I make any mistakes...) I have a Debian testing system on which for a long time I kept old KDE 3.5 packages because I didn't want KDE 4 (I tried it around 4.0, didn't like), I figured it was time I gave it another try. So after an aptitude update, I did an aptitude dist-upgrade (something I hadn't done since at least 6-12 months -- I did a number of updates of specific packages in the mean time, though). aptitude offered me a solution which required removing a lot of packages (old KDE 3.5 ones), installing a lot of new ones, and updating some. The install went fine, without any error messages. I now have a bunch of KDE 4.3.1 packages (version 4:4.3.4-1, the latest in squeeze). I rebooted, got to the kdm welcome screen, obviously in KDE 4 style, and logged in... only to see kdm pop again! No error message. I'm not on this computer right now, but there wasn't any error message (nor anything that looked even remotely related) in /var/log/kdm.log. In the console, though, I can see when launching kdm some messages (sorry for not having copied down the exact formulation) along the line of cannot copy file /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession. Now, I looked at the kdm package. dpkg -L told me that it provides a number of files in /etc/kde4/kdm/ (including kdmrc, but also Xsession and others). However, my /etc/kde4/kdm/ only contains kdmrc, no other files. I tried aptitude reinstall kdm, deleting the .deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives first to force a new download, I got the same result. The .deb file apparently contains these files (at least I see these files with a dpkg-deb -x), but for some reason they are not extracted (and my disk is far from full)! Just to try, I manually copied these files from the dpk-deb -x result to /etc/kde4/kdm, but I still got exactly the same behaviour, so I guess there is something more. Nonetheless, it shows that these files really exist in the .deb, so why are they not extracted? I also tried removing all packages in my system that seemed related to KDE and re-installing kde-full (which dragged along all KDE, including kdm), because it seemed I had a lot of old KDE 3 stuff hanging around (and a lot of other junk I hadn't used for a long time, like compiz, so a bit of house-cleaning was not useless...), but I still get the same behaviour. Does anybody have an idea of what's going on with this package, or of any tests I could run to find the problem?

This is a bug in kdm squeeze and sid. You have to log twice and it will work. Yeah, I saw reports of that bug. However, I'm quite sure I tried a number of times (in case I had mis-typed my password) and I get the same behaviour again and again. Well, I'll try that again next time I'm close to the computer, just to be sure. Anyway, I didn't find on the web anything related to the missing files in /etc/kde4/kdm (and perhaps in other places, I just happened to notice these ones). So my guess is that something else is wrong. No? -- Rémi Moyen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hmmm... thanks for the pointer, but again, I don't see any cases where there are missing files from the package. There seem, however, to be indeed a problem with kdm/policykit. Well, I'll look into it, but if I don't find a solution, I guess I'll have to downgrade to 3.5 again (stable should do the trick). -- Rémi Moyen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

OK, I've got a bit more news, and that's not good news... First, about the missing files, I once more removed all KDE related packages, this time with --purge, and reinstalled. I don't know why, but this correctly unpacked all the files (in /etc/kde4/kdm). So at least that's one point fixed. But that's the only one... I tried to log in more than once (and more than twice, even!), it still doesn't work. So I don't think I'm affected by the afore-mentioned bug. I tried installing consolekit/unstable (since Michael Biebl indicated that the newest version fixes this bug), and I still have the problem. I tried installing xdm to replace kdm, xdm has the same problem (with both consolekit testing or unstable). I installed another window manager (IceWM) and chose it in the kdm options, still the same problem. Finally, I managed to launch xinit + icewm manually, and this works fine. I then tried, instead of launching icewm, to launch startkde (since it seems that's what .xsession would launch normally). I get the following messages: Rate 50.0 Hz not available for this size startkde: Starting up... kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/remi/.kde/socket-laputa/kdeinit4__0) failed: : Connection refused Segmentation fault (core dumped) startkde: Shutting down... kdeinit4_wrapper: Warning: connect(/home/remi/.kde/socket-laputa/kdeinit4__0) failed: : Connection refused Error: Can not contact kdeinit4! startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. OK, I guess starting KDE requires more than calling startkde (but what else?). I tried calling kdeinit, it finishes immediately (but that could be normal if it's running as a daemon), and startkde still tells me Communication error with KInit and then another message startkde: Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation.. ksmserver core dumps when I try launching it manually (but again, at that point, I'm not really expecting things to work manually). So my X server is working fine, but there is a problem with kdm (independently of the window manager I use), and there is a problem with KDE itself (?). Anyone got any clue as to what I could do? (I'm also unfortunately stuck with KDE 4 now, because when I tried to downgrade to kde/stable aptitude crashed, complaining about kdelibs4c2a depending on libkrb53 that it couldn't find, and downgrading manually libkrb53 seems to pull down an awful lot of things -- at this rate, I'm better off reinstalling the system from scratch, at least it would be clean...) -- Rémi Moyen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
