Hello,

I am having some problems setting up kde's GUI login
manager (kdm). I am running FreeBSD 4.5 and XFree86
4.2. I am getting the following error when I try to
test it:


<--start-->
www# kdm -nodaemon
Jun 11 22:55:29 www kdm[5143]: Abnormal helper
termination, code 0, signal 81
Jun 11 22:55:31 www kdm[5146]: Greeter exited
unexpectedly
Jun 11 22:55:31 www kdm[5146]: Abnormal helper
termination, code 1, signal 0
Jun 11 22:55:33 www kdm[5153]: Greeter exited
unexpectedly
Jun 11 22:55:33 www kdm[5153]: Abnormal helper
termination, code 1, signal 0
Jun 11 22:55:35 www kdm[5160]: Greeter exited
unexpectedly
Jun 11 22:55:35 www kdm[5160]: Abnormal helper
termination, code 1, signal 0
Jun 11 22:55:37 www kdm[5167]: Greeter exited
unexpectedly
Jun 11 22:55:37 www kdm[5167]: Abnormal helper
termination, code 1, signal 0
Jun 11 22:55:37 www kdm[5143]: Display :0 is being
disabled (restarting too fast)
<--end-->

I have not configured anything in any files as I am
unsure of which to edit because the FreeBSD handbook
does not seem to cover KDE3, nor does the KDE.org
documentation and I am hesitant to blindly use the 2.2
instructions. It appears that you only HAVE to edit
the /etc/ttyv file for it to work, but until I can
start it from the prompt without errors I do not want
to try to boot into it. "xdm" seems to work fine, any
ideas on why I am receiving this error with "kdm"?? 

Please reply to this email address as well as the
list, I am not a regular member to the -questions
list. 

Thank you for your time and any help you can give.

Sincerely,

Thomas Kersten
