Hello again, Good news... the problem is fixed. A friend of mine had the idea of prepending "su -c root" to the start-stop-daemon line, thinking it might be a permissions problem, and hey presto it works. Obviously init doesn't have permission to start KDM with X or something. Tom On Friday 2

KDM won't start

2004-03-26 Thread lists
Greetings, I've got a problem with KDM on a sid machine set to unstable that is similar to the one filed in the bug tracker (#240027), and that can be traced through various threads on groups.google.com, with no solutions. If I start up my machine, it goes to runlevel 3, and fails to start KDM. I

Looks like I perhaps spoke a little too soon. I logged into KDE using GDM and found all my menus to be screwed up. All text in every menu seems to be skewed about half a line down from where it is supposed to be. Any suggestions or workarounds for the KDM problem? Peace, DAVE David Meiser wr

KDM won't start

2003-06-09 Thread David Meiser
A few months back, after I installed the DRI/DRM modules, KDM stopped working. I was, and am, able to run startx from the command line and have a fully functioning xsession, though. Not too long after that (before I had a chance to troubleshoot it), my computer went down hard with a burnt-out

kdm won't start

2002-01-29 Thread Jason Majors
I run /etc/init.d/kdm start as root and it says 'done', but kdm doesn't run. I can run gdm and kde just fine. I enabled verbose logging for kdm and got the following in syslog, but it doesn't tell me much. All config files for kdm are the .deb defaults and all kde packages are from Sid as of 07:00
