Cannot login
Hello there. I got a debian testing installation and I currently cannot login in kde. I give my pass and instead of a proper kde session I get kdm's login screen again. I haven't done any upgrade but I did a really stupid thing: I hit the power button and turn the laptop off the hard way while it was in suspend mode. I tried googling but it gave me no usefull things. The .xsession-errors file in my home folder says Permission denied. I checked the permissions in /tmp and /var/tmp and everything seems fine. I also deleted the .kde folder. Login in as root and typing startx opens a kde session. Any ideas? PS: I did the instructions described in this page: https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510 in order to fix skype on me 64-bit installation, but I don't think it has something to do with my problem. I think something got wrong when I hit the power button. :( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

To be correct: With cat on .xsession-errors it says in the first line that it tried starting x and on the second line Permission denied. I wrote this in case someone by mistake thought I had no permission to read the .xsession-errors file. > I checked the permissions in /tmp and /var/tmp and everything seems fine.

If this does'nt work, you can try to create a new user and then cope all your files to /home/new-user.

Adding a new user did not fix anything too. I tried login in a console and then startx and I got some errors about xkb not being able to get initialized. Strange So the thing is that no user except the root can start a kde session.

I think something messed up the permissions cause the laptop was in suspend mode when I repeatedly pressed the power button. So it has to be my bad and not a bug or something. J

Re: Cannot login
Hello. Some weeks ago I had exactly the same behaviour as you in my debian testing system. I cannot login to kde "with kdm". When I tried to login to kde I get kdm's login screen again. Also, and I think that that is the problem we have, I applied https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510. Until now, I thought that the fix to skype was not what caused the problem with the login, but now, I think that that's the problem, because I have exactly the same problem with the login as yours and the problem start exactly after I applied the fix to skype's (Until now, I thought that the problem comes with a patch upgrade or something like that). I made the following tests: - Create a new user and tried to login and get the same behaviour. - Check free space and all was ok. - Rename /.kde to /.kde_old and /.kde4 to /.kde4_old and I get the same behaviour. - I tried to undo the recommendations in https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510 with no success (but I really don't know if I do all the steps to restore the system as before the fix) - I remove the kdm and reinstall it with no success - I remove all kde packages and reinstalled, also with no success :-( - I could start kde with no problem from a console, stopping the kdm and executing startx with my user. Can you try this? Finally I applied the following workaround: I remove kdm and installed gdm. After that, I have no problem to login. I haven't investigated any further because I really don't know from where the problem comes, but now, maybe we have to undo the steps applied with the skype's solution to solve our problem. I hope this helps to solve our problem P.D.
