kdm won't start kde
Hi all,
I have kde 3.3.0 running on my Suse 9.1 box, and typing in my username and password in kdm only starts up a terminal window (like failsafe mode). To start kde, i have to run startkde. Could anybody provide any pointers as to launching kde automatically? Thanks Seb |
Hi-
when KDM comes up, there should be a button to the right of the login button where you can choose session type. MAke sure it is set to use KDE. Did you have any trouble before upgrading to 3.3? -myk |
Yeah, already done, and no solution.
Had no probs before kde 3.3 |
I have the same problem.
After login, there's only one xterm without window-decoration, choosing another session-type has no effect. I have Debian Sid. |
Where did you get the KDE 3.3 packages? I would try the official RPMs.

I installed kde 3.1.2 from jigdo-dvds and did no update. After changing the default display-manager from xdm to kdm the described problem occurred.
|
I downloaded the official Suse 9.1 rpms. :'(
Does any body have any ideas? |
I finally took the ruthless way:
Code:
/opt/kde/bin/genkdmconf --no-old ulmo |
Unfortunately this still doesn't solve any problems for me :(
|
Is there a file called kde-3.x.x in your /etc/X11/Sessions? If not just create a file called kde and put this in it
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/startkde and make it executable chmod a+x kde give it a reboot |
If you can start kde, go to KControl (Kde Control Center), go to System Administration, go to Session and check if you got kde entry.
|
No i don't, but i also don't have a folder called Session. Btw, kde loads with xdm.
Code:
seb@linux:~> ls /etc/X11/ |

Something else i noticed, in the login manager, changing the background has no effect on kdm - perhaps it is writing to the wrong file? |
