Hi everybody,
I upgraded my Suse linux 9.3 box with the newest KDE release via yast. Before the upgrade I was able to contact the my pc via VNC and I would get the login manager. However, after upgrading I found out that I am not able anymore to contact my box externally via VNC. I also installed opensuse 10 on another box, enabled VNC and that worked, but here also after upgrading KDE , VNC doesn't work anymore.
If I try to contact my pc with a VNC client (tightvnc or realvnc), it returns an error immediately or shows a VNC window very shortly and returns an error like " socket error while reading" . To find out what's going on I did a " tail /var/log/messages" on my pc and i found the following:
Nov 10 20:21:03 bernie kernel: kdm[7259]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 0000000000418248 rsp 00007fffff8b59d0 error 4

Nov 10 20:21:03 bernie kdm[5476]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process
So it seems that there is a problem with KDM.There must be more people with the same problem but I haven't found anything yet on this issue. Anybody any clue what's going wrong and how to fix it ?
Thanks,
