ok before i go an do the unmerge stuff i switched rc.conf to have the displaymanager be xdm instead of kdm and i got a graphic login prompt at boot up.
not sure if that helps anyone, just trying differnt things.

Try using "gdm" in /etc/rc.conf as I suggested and then as root:

when i used "gdm" it did the same thing as xdm since i don't have gnome installed. i'm not really loosing anything by using xdm except some eye candy right?
is there anything that kdm does that i need?

ok one more thing

when i click the logout button on my taskbar i only get the option to logout.
i used to have the dialog popup that gave me the option to either logout, reboot or shutdown.

anyone know how to get that back?

The best of luck to you.

i'm going to post some logs to see if that sheds any light on things

here is kdm.log

********************************************************************************
Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages

Hi,

I had a similar problem when i upgraded from kde 3.1.4 to 3.1.5 (now I use 3.2.1, and i had no problems upgrading to it from 3.2.0) so maybe I can help.

Firstly am I right in assuming from the lengthy posts so far that kde 3.2.1 works when you use xdm, but not with kdm?

Incidently I believe that using xdm is the reason you have lost the ability to reboot and shutdown - I believe that kde only gets that sort of route privileges when you use kdm. If you have gnome and use gdm gnome can reboot, but not kde etc.

Anyway when i broke kdm after upgrading from kde 3.1.4 to 3.1.5 I had to recompile xfree and qt - I am not sure why this was the case but it seemed that some of the libraries kdm was trying to load were not the ones it wanted. I don't think this is the way things are supposed to work - but it worked.

Hope that is helpful.

PS it was a while ago and I can't remember if i had to recompile kde after recompiling xfree and qt.

Recompiling is almost certainly overkill - and you might still have a different problem to me - but I am pretty new to this and have found that sometimes just compiling (overnight while I sleep) if the most efficient way to solve things in terms of my time - although it is certainly not the most elegant.

The simplest way to recompile without upgrading is firstly to

I was having the same problem and this was what fixed my problem up.

THAT WAS IT!!!!!

thank you so much. i finally got my kdm login screen back.

see this is why gentoo is such a great distro. there are tons of people trying to help eveyrone out. i've used a ton of other distros before coming to gentoo and never have i see a greater community.
i've been telling everyone i know that uses linux they need to get on the gentoo bandwagon.

well anyone. thanks again.

Wow.. thats good to know. I just read the README located at /usr/kde/3.2/share/config/kdm/ .

After reading that, my best guess as to what the problem might of been is that when you upgraded KDE that when you ran "etc-update" you overwrote /usr/kde/3.2/share/config/kdm/Xserver file and others blindly. Allot of people do this that are new to include myself. I actually overwrote "/etc/fstab" and "/etc/passwd", "/etc/shadow"... I'm sure you can Imagine what happened when I rebooted. I always learn the hard way though.. :twisted:

Come to think of it when I first ran "etc-update" (for the first time on Gentoo), was after upgrading KDE. I didn't take the time to figure out how "etc-update" works and blindy chose the "-5" option. This blindy replaced all old KDE files with brandnew fresh ones thus making KDE not startable. Among other things.. heh.. heh.. It only took me that one time to learn the correct way of how to use "etc-update" though.. spent days rebuilding my Gentoo system over dialup. I've never had any problems since useing "etciupdate" correctly.

I've since learned how to use "etc-update" very proficiently. Actually what I recommend doing after being alerted that "etc-update" needs to be run is in KDE is click on the Home icon on the toolbar.. Use this (Konqueror) to browse to the files that are posted in the "etc-update" output. Most of the time the files can be viewed in Konqueror. Just pull them up side-by-side to see the differences for your-self. As the "etc-update"'s diff'ing mechanism really isn't that intuitive. But with Konqueror you can atleast see both files side by side and plainly see the differences. You can then use "etc-update" to add, merge, overwrite,,, ect...ect...

I hope that little tidbit helps.
