 Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 6:51 am Post subject: KDM does not start after uprade [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi there,
It must be a kind of obvious, but... after upgrde I have no KDM starting, I do not see it at boot and I have no error message, X does not start (not even try to). The system simply reaches "login" without X.
The runlevel is default, KDM is added to default, in /etc/conf.d/xdm has DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm set.
Now, one fellow thought of expat problem on IRC:
| Quote: | | salmonix: expat-2.0.1 has been marked stable. However, it is not ABI compatible with earlier versions. To successfully upgrade and fix any reverse dependencies (along with several other issues), run: emerge =portage-2.1.2.9 && emerge -n portage-utils && emerge -qep --nospinner world | grep --color=never -oFf <(scanelf -plRBF '%F %n' | awk '/libexpat.so.0/{print $1}' | xargs qfile -qC | sort -u; echo -e "libtool\ncurl") | xargs emerge -1 |
, but it seems not to be the problem.
And I can start kdm manually (logged in as root) and it works fine. But that is not what I want.

What about removing it from the default runlevel, then adding it back in? Have you tested that already?

Yes, and I have unmerged and then emerged kdm (only), and added to default again.

So, when you start it yourself, do you just run "kdm" or "/etc/init.d/xdm start"? This is definitely an xinit thing, because the xdm initscript is part of that package, not kdm, gdm, xdm, etc.
[edit] Well, not definitely. It could be baselayout too.

Typing kdm as root starts kdm and all is fine.
I see no error.
Should I still revdep-rebuild? (After upgrade maintenance was done properly, after re-emerging kdm I did not do it, 'cause only one package was affected.)

OK, so have you done this as root:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/xdm start

1. Not yet. If I try what output shall I post here?
2. I see no xdm in default runlevel. Should it be there? (xdm is installed)

Wait, I thought you said it was in the default runlevel. If it's not, that's why it's not working. So do:
| Code: |
rc-config add xdm default
|
and it should work fine.
