[newbie] kdm
hi, Could someone tell me what the %^*^% is happening with KDM. It won't log me in at all. It is the one from the updates, and is still not working at all. It also seems to be a step backwards from the 9.1 (KDE) login manager. I am certainly a KDE fan but I just can't get KDM working... I have to keep trying about 10x before it slips me to a terminal so I can startx. Any clues greatly appreciated. Cheers Anton Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] kdm fails back to failsafe
After using Mandrake 9.0 with kdm for a month without any problems, kdm suddenly does not allow any window manager and always runs failsafe window. It could have happened after unclean shutdown, but I'm using reiserfs journaling. I was able to run kdm configuration from KDE control center and create a default kdm config, but it did not help.

I think user problem can be solved by running configuration/KDE/System/login manager as root and selecting user tab. In this tab copy users from remaining users to selected user only users that are going to login. Then in show users select radio button selected users. This works for me. Even I have png files of users in folder /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/pics/users. This shows users picture.

Re: [newbie] kdm configure not working.
I would guess that you still have KDE2 still loaded on your system. If so, it is the kdm that loads instead of the KDE3 version (which is what you are configuring). To get KDM from KDE3 to load change the last line in /etc/inittab to read: x:5:respawn:/opt/kde3/bin/kdm -nodaemon (instead of x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon) and reboot your machine. BTW, you need to have root access to edit inittab (either login as root or in a terminal window do a su command).

[newbie] kdm problem
Hi I did a fresh install of Mandrake 8.2, but without installing KDE2. I then installed KDE3. This went well, and KDE3 is great. My problem is that now I can't get into KDE3 from kdm. It takes me to IceWM instead. Now, gdm does take me to KDE3, and Xstart gives me the option of 11KDE which also correctly takes me into KDE3. So I think I've screwed up a config file for kdm somewhere. I twigged the /etc/X11/prefdm file by adding the path to /opt/kde3 which loads kdm. The problem is that kdm has an entry for KDE which points to IceWM. Question: How do I setup kdm as default chooser for window managers? And how do I get it to point correctly to KDE3?

[newbie] KDM, XDM, GDM???
Hi What are KDM, XDM, and GDM? I know they have something to do with XWindows but that is about it? Also what are there differences? Thanks Robert Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] KDM, XDM, GDM???
KDM, XDM GDM are all display managers. They permit both local and remote X windows sessions to occur and provide client support (the remote is the server in X, parlance). If you have two Linux boxes running any of the above it is possible to log into a remote machine's X-Windows using the local server. While the programs are executed remotely, the local display handles interpreting the graphics primitives, etc. so execution is quite fast over a network. By enabling the chooser on one or more machines, you would be presented with a list of available computers on your local network that can handle XDM logins... In addition using server software such as Exceed, you can log into your Linux box via a Lan and use it graphically as if you were sitting on the console... This is done via XDMCP. Now someone PLEASE tell me how to enable the chooser in 8.0. I had no trouble getting it to work on 7.2, but in 8.0 I am unable to get the chooser to display. I'm stuck with the user logins and nothing else. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert MacLean Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 3:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] KDM, XDM, GDM???

2. Open /etc/sysconfig/desktop in a text editor as root and change

These are all display managers (hence the DM on the ends of the names). GDM is part of the GNOME Project, and KDM is part of KDE. XDM was the basis for the other two, and is rather plain (read: don't even bother trying it). Display Managers are the login menus you see when you boot into GNU/linux, assuming that you automatically start into X and you don't use autologin. They offer a choice of installed WMs/environments that you can log into. GDM and KDM are similar in functionality, and you can use either one. On some systems, KDM won't work, so GDM is a better choice. GDM also has better multilingual support. Mandrake uses KDM by default, but you can easily change to GDM.

Hi Bill and s srlinuxx,
Thank you both. Both solutions worked like a charm.
I don't know why kcontrol comes with 'kde' by default if it needs 'KDE' but anyway
all is well.
As for s srlinuxx's solution, what I did was change /etc/X11/prefdm from
preferred=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop /dev/null 21
[ -n $DISPLAYMANAGER ] DESKTOP=$DISPLAYMANAGER
if [ $DESKTOP = GNOME -o $DESKTOP = Gnome ]; then
preferred=gdm
elif [ $DESKTOP = KDE -o $DESKTOP = KDE1 -o $DESKTOP = KDE2
]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
elif [ $DESKTOP = AnotherLevel ] ; then
preferred=/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
fi
fi
to
preferred=gdm
#if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
# . /etc/sysconfig/desktop /dev/null 21
# [ -n $DISPLAYMANAGER ] DESKTOP=$DISPLAYMANAGER
# if [ $DESKTOP = GNOME -o $DESKTOP = Gnome ]; then
# preferred=gdm

]; then
# preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
# elif [ $DESKTOP = AnotherLevel ] ; then

I realize this breaks the flexibility for auto configuring the login manager, but it
did work!
Thank you.

Display Managers are the login menus you see when you boot into GNU/linux Actually they are not a menu (though I'm sure you are purposely simplifying...), but rather a mechanism for controlling X servers and permitting the execution of local client programs.

[newbie] KDM won't start anything other than KDE
Hi! Recently, I upgraded my Mandrake 7.2 system (running XFree 3.3.6, with nvidia 128 zx chipset) to XFree 4.0.3. When the computer booted up into KDM, I got my usual choices (i.e./e.g. KDE, Gnome, IceWM, fvwm etc. etc.). But now, no matter which one I select, it boots into KDE...(with the exception of the failsafe option). Now this is not neccessarily a bad thing :) but some users want to use gnome and ice. So what have I done wrong? And how do I get gnome etc. back? Typing startgnome from failsafe does work so it's something to do with KDM and/or X. Thanks, George

How can I switch from KDM to GDM (or whatever the login manager for Gnome is called)? I only use gnome and I would like to switch, as long as this will not sacrafice any stability or functionality.
