Hi Got a problem with KDE after upgrading woody to sarge. I am running the i386 distribution. For historical reasons I will get around to sorting out one of these days, I run gdm then select a KDE session at login.
My X server has obviously survived the upgrade as gdm starts OK on boot and presents me with the usual login screen. Even my custom ModeLine settings for my display survived; my XF86Config-4 file is exactly the same as the backup copy I took before upgrading. However on login, the X server appears to shut down (and gdm promptly re-starts it) -- so I log in and after some flashing of screens for a second or two I find myself back at the login screen again. I poked around in my setup and found something that looks a bit suss -- looking at /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/KDE I note that one of its steps is it's doing 'which kde2' and shutting itself down if it can't find it. Looking in .kde-errors in my home directory that is the error that is being reported. As root last night I did a find . -name kde2 from the root of my filesystem and it came back with only a DIRECTORY called kde2, no files. This was working fine before the upgrade -- well let me rephrase, I could use a KDE session out of gdm fine before the upgrade. If this is what it was trying to do or not before I don't know as I never had cause to look. I've had a trawl through the archives of this mailing list and also googled around for this problem, and found no one with this particular issue. I've also found enough people asking different questions about KDE on sarge that it's obvious a large number of people have got it to work in this situation, so I must be doing something stupid. Anyone got any advice? Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
