Hello, I 'm looking for some help getting kdm to run again after an upgrade. I have fbsd 4.3-release. I cvsupp'ed my ports tree a couple of weeks ago and built kde-2.2 from the port. I built kde2base first with the --with-shadow \ line added to the makefile. It built & installed ok, but I'm having a few problems. First one is with kdm. It used to work when I was using kde-1.1.2 and then still worked fine when I upgraded to 4.3 and installed kde-2.1.1 from the 4.3 cdroms. On installing kde-2.2, I tried to run kdm, but it complained that Xsetup, Xstartup and Xreset were missing and threw me back to kdm when I tried to login. I hunted around on the mailing list archive and found suggertions for Xstartup and Xreset and copied XSetup_0 to XSetup. These 3 files are in usr/local/share/config/kdm/ That got rid of those errors, however if I login as root, kde runs ok, but I get the errors: kdm[523]: no modules loaded for `kde' service kdm[536]: Session "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession" execution failed (err 13) and also syslogd: /dev/:0: No such file or directory If login as a normal user, the same errors appear and kde doesn't start, I just get an xterm window. If I type exec startke into it, kde runs ok. I can't figure out what is going on here. Here are some of my config files: /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup_0 #!/bin/sh # $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $ xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail kdmdesktop /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup #!/bin/sh # $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $ xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-30 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn helv -exitOnFail kdmdesktop /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup #!/bin/sh sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xreset #!/bin/sh sessreg -d -w /var/log/wtmp -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER -x I also tried /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xservers in Xreset & Xstartup. All the above have permissions 755 for both root & normal user, .xsession is: #!/sbin/sh -xv imwheel #set default wm to kde defaultwm=kde echo $1 #set the window manager to $1 if it was supplied windowmgr=${1:-$defaultwm} echo $windowmgr #start the respective window managers case ${windowmgr} in kde|kwm|kdestart) WINDOWMANAGER=startkde ;; fvwm|fvwm2) WINDOWMANAGER=fvwm2 ;; windowmaker) WINDOWMANAGER=wmaker ;; enlightenment) WINDOWMANAGER=enlightenment ;; blackbox) WINDOWMANAGER=blackbox ;; failsafe) WINDOWMANAGER=twm ;; *) WINDOWMANAGER=twm # default for unknown wm's esac echo $WINDOWMANAGER exec $WINDOWMANAGER Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
