Guess you use kdm from kde 3?
I had the same problems there too, using kde 3.0.2 from
kde3.geniussystems.net.
I replaced my /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc (guess so, sitting in front of a different
machine now) with the ~.dpkg-dist version and it worked fine. Then configured
it and it again died on every startup. Wasn't able to find error messages.
My Prefs are:
- - a specific wallpaper (this is a kde box)
- - a sans serif truetype font (arial?)
- - language german
- - AA fonts
- - 3rd (?) lightweight theme
- - show only users in inclusion list
- - 3 users in that list including root (oops)
- - select last logged-in user
- - focus password input
- - relogin after X-server crash
This made kdm die.
After setting this:
- - default debian wallpaper
- - a sans serif truetype font (arial?)
- - language english
- - AA: default (off I guess)
- - default theme (not exactly beautiful ;)
- - show user up from ID 500 except for exclusion list
- - now only 2 users can be seen
- - don't select a user (default)
- - don't focus password input (default)
- - relogin after X-server crash
now kdm appears, everything's fine
Was too lazy to figure out which setting exactly made kdm die.
yours,
Sönke
