Re: Can't start KDE or TWM with KDM
BTW: If you want to use cups, you must build kdelibs from source with the cups-option. Please have a look at the KDE-howto of the DFly Wiki: http://wiki.dragonflybsd.org/index.cgi/HowToKde?highlight=%28HowTo%29 Thomas Thanks Thomas, next time will try to read the wiki too. I tend to focus on the handbook. For the moment I think I won't use cups. I figure out that my printer is not supported. Does any one know who is the user Cyrus ? and why my root is called root Charly on KDM ? Frank.

The user 'cyrus' belongs to the cyrus-sasl package, which is required by the kde-base package. 'Charlie Root' is the 'full name' of root, as opposed to the user-name. That's the name that appears on email which is sent to root by cron, etc. That name seems to be a BSD tradition. I'm sure you can change it to anything you like.

Re: Can't start KDE or TWM with KDM
there is an option in the configuration file ( maybe kdm.conf somewhere in /usr/pkg/share... not sure ) which let you hide the users you decide.

Re: Can't start KDE or TWM with KDM
well, i know you can do that. There's some option you have to set in mk.conf. ( look at /usr/pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example ). But it seems that's the best way to get everything working. I think I tried, and it didn't work better. Frank Petitjean wrote: Le Mon, 02 Oct 2006 17:35:53 +0200, David Aubril [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit: Well, I'm just a french guy.

Re: Can't start KDE or TWM with KDM
Of course it would be better. But if you install the xorg meta-package, it just doesn't work. You have two options : 1°) look through all the config files to find the wrong line(s) and correct it (them); 2°) create this symlink. Well, I tried the first, but didn't find a way to fix it. If you can, tell me. I'd be pleased to remove this un-needed symlink. Jeremy C. Reed wrote: On Tue, 3 Oct 2006, Frank Petitjean wrote: Well, I'm just a french guy. But I met that a couple of times.
