 Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2005 9:14 am Post subject: login in kdm returns me to kdm again |
 |
|
my system was compiled less then a week ago. its x86_64 stable. i installed kdebase-meta.
when i login using kdm i just return to kdm again without any message, error, etc.
i checked Xorg.0.log, kdm.log and dmesg, but theres no warning or error. the only thing i noticed is, that the backgroud texture of kdm is a little screwed and it seems to reset the display mode, or start kdm again (but nvidia logo is not showed again). logging in via startx works fine (using twm now). |

Maybe your kde config got destroyed.
Delete everything containing kde in /tmp and rename or delete everything .kde in your home directory and try again |

if you deleted all .* in home you will have to setup each and every local configuration again!
Thats why I said everything starting with .kde in home!!!! |

On my computer was the same problem.
Check option WIPE_TMP="no" in /etc/conf.d/bootmisc. Must be set to "no"
Kdm to work need /tmp/.ICE-unix and /tmp/.X11-unix with permission set to root.root
When option WIPE_TMP is set to "yes" during booting system /tmp/ is wipping.
/tmp/.ICE-unix and /tmp/.X11-unix are deleted and no recreated.
and it's all over...
for more information look in /etc/init.d/bootmisc |

Try to login at the console (ALT+Fx)
Maybe one of your .bashrc, .profile, .xinitrc, .xsession or whatever else has a syntax error. This would result in an immediately logout after a X11-Login without any chance of you to see the error message. |
