Hi, i was logged in via text console and i even can start kde via startx, cause no login is necessary. but when i try logging in via xdm or kdm it fails. in .xsession-errors it says:
Xsession: unable to launch kde X session; kde not found. Xsession: Falling back to default session. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xrdb: Can't open display ':0' xsetroot: unable to open display ':0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server ksplash: cannot connect to X server :0 DCOPServer up and runing. kdeinit: Can't connect to the X Server. kdeinit: Might not terminate at end of session. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server kcminit: cannot connect to X server :0 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server ksmserver: cannot connect to X server :0 kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children. kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children. kdeinit: Exit. When i had this problem last time, i commented out "use-sessreg" in kdm.options and somehow it worked until i destroyed PAM but this time it doesn't help (actually i'm not sure about what and where i commented out the other time but i think it was what i told you, though, somehow it appears strange to me that this can result in being able to log in again after reading a bit in the manpages for sessreg) Anyway i guess you are right in saying that i destroyed something that has to do with the session-management. And you said i have to remove a config-file. but what exactly do i have to do? can you further help me? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jules Bean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 21.

In this case, I'm sure you will find you can log in fine to the text console: the fact that it 'seems to start' your session almost certainly means that is exactly what its doing. Your session file is probably broken: I don't know how KDM manages sessions, but you probably need to clear or delete a config file. Does KDM not offer some kind of 'safe session' or 'bare .xsession' option? Jules
