Re: [expert] Problems with KDE2 login
Sarang, Your right about where the bug is, Now I just need to be able to get it to work. I uploaded and installed the latest pam Now it does the same thing from login as it does from startx. It gives me the spash screen. Says re-initializing previous session and dies back to the login screen. MD5 on the rpm's indicates I've got a good copy (doesn't gaurantee it just indicates *grin*) Next attempt will be to build from source. When in doubt go to the source hehe. James P.S. Does your kde2 ignore GNOME?

Re: [expert] Problems with KDE2 login
Sarang, Well it went further seems that if you don't have Gnome installed before you install kde2 ... it won't let it run for some odd reason. I've installed the entire rpm set nothing recognized and it won't give me anything but the dang kde2 login window. sigh... off and running to try another way around. RE-install time. Note: I even removed the entire kde suite and still couldn't get gnome recognized. I think the bug is in X not kde...

Re: [expert] Problems with KDE2 login
Rick, The default login that u see is part of KDE.. by changing KDE to GNOME in that file, I got the GNOME login manager instead of the default KDE.. And I didn't use KDE screensaver coz even it couldnt' verify my login! btw, I solved the problem.. just installe the latest pam packages! -sarang Rick Commo wrote: > > >>go to /etc/sysconfig/desktop and replace KDE by GNOME.. and u'll get the > >>GNOME login screen!.. from ther eu can login and it'll by default take u > to > >>KDE 2.. > > How is this different than changing the "session type" on the login > dialog?

>>go to /etc/sysconfig/desktop and replace KDE by GNOME.. and u'll get the >>GNOME login screen!.. from ther eu can login and it'll by default take u to >>KDE 2.. How is this different than changing the "session type" on the login dialog? My choices there are a whole bunch of different managers! I did login in with Gnome and see that /etc/sysconfig/desktop is still set to KDE. So does this parameter determine the default desktop? The login screen seemed to remember my choice as soon as I typed in my name. >> >>also remember not to start the KDE screensaver.. it won't let u login again >>;).. so i am using xscreensaver from konsole! If you've set your environment to Gnome, why would it use the KDE screensaver? Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
Re: [expert] Problems with KDE2 login
Hey, I know exactly what you are talking about!! I had the exact same problem when I upgraded to the latest packages from cooker the other day.. I mailed this list but nobody responded.. Its def. a bug in KDE.. Here is the solution.. go to /etc/sysconfig/desktop and replace KDE by GNOME.. and u'll get the GNOME login screen!.. from ther eu can login and it'll by default take u to KDE 2.. also remember not to start the KDE screensaver.. it won't let u login again ;).. so i am using xscreensaver from konsole! -sarang Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
