hai all

any remedies for logout problem in fedora 3( i mean the system hangs on logging out from either of the sessions) for both GNOME and KDE.plz give exact paths in the source code to be changed in kdebase-3.3.1 and gnome-session-2.8.3

thanks!!!

Does it totally lock up or can you ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X? How are you starting X, at bootup or manually doing a startx?

hi trickykid
thanks for ur reply, i am entering into the X, during boot time only, when i am clicking logout option it has to ask forlogout ( In KDE), but the system just hangs. pl give ur ideas.

Try this while in X.

Open up a terminal, su to root or login as root to begin with and run this command:

telinit 3

This will kill X and restart your machine in runlevel 3, you may have to type ctrl-d to get a login prompt. Then from the command line after logging in, do a startx to start X.

From there and once in X, do a logout and see if it hangs. If it does, its some issue with X.. if it doesn't and takes you back to the console or command line, it's most likely a problem with the GDM/KDM/XDM graphical login manager your using that might be the issue.

hai kid
i did follow ur instructions and the system did not hang . so the problem is with GDM/KDM/XDM as u said. so canu help me further .i'm not able o trace the bug in the code. in the rpms.

thanks once again

Only suggestion I'd say trying is find out which one your using and perhaps change to one of the others, or try to upgrade if there are updated packages available.

veena here
I have installed GDM. and i'm bound to use the fedora 3 version of it .so can u help me in chnaging the code or do u think any other rpm is resposible for it.this issue is a challenge for me .plz help me rectify it.
thanks!!!!

Hi, I just installed FC3 and had the freeze-up problem when exiting Gnome. I did Ctrl-Alt-F3 and went into a virtual terminal, logged in as root and was about to ps -ef to see if I could kill the process when suddenly I was returned to the X virtual terminal and logout had completed (sent me to the GDM greeter). I then went back to virtual terminal 3 to logout and it was still logged in. I thought it was strange as that was the first time I was unilaterally removed from a virtual terminal. I could see the freeze ending and the logout completing, but why was I sent from virtual terminal 3 back to virtual terminal 7 automagically?
