The following reply was made to PR ports/8754; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Yarema" <yds@ingress.net> To: <jrista@hotmail.com>, <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: Subject: Re: ports/8754: KDE: KDM Display Manager has login problem...wont let users other than root log in Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 21:45:35 -0500 I had this problem right after KDE 1.0 came out. The problem is KDM doesn't set the path right and can't find kwm and friends. The problem went away after I put a usable PATH in ~/.xinitrc (or whatever, I don't remember, it's been working for a while :). Don't know if there's a fix or if this should just be documented somewhere. Since pre 1.0 releases didn't need the path explicitly set this seems to be a bug in KDM at least on FreeBSD. -----Original Message----- From: jrista@hotmail.com <jrista@hotmail.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Wednesday, November 18, 1998 8:44 PM Subject: ports/8754: KDE: KDM Display Manager has login problem...wont let users other than root log in > >>Number: 8754 >>Category: ports >>Synopsis: KDE: KDM Display Manager has login problem...wont let users other than root log in >>Confidential: no >>Severity: non-critical >>Priority: medium >>Responsible: freebsd-ports >>State: open >>Quarter: >>Keywords: >>Date-Required: >>Class: sw-bug >>Submitter-Id: current-users >>Arrival-Date: Wed Nov 18 17:30:01 PST 1998 >>Last-Modified: >>Originator: Jon Rista >>Organization: >(none) >>Release: 2.2.7-Stable >>Environment: >FreeBSD myname.my.domain 2.2.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 1 20:19:56 MST 1996 root@myname.my.domain:/usr/src/sys/compile/BSDWITHSOUND >>Description: >The KDE KDM Display Manager has a login problem. After boot, login under any name. After running KDM, only the user who originally logged in from the command prompt can log in with the display manager. i.e. If I log in as root only root can log in with KDM. If I log in as jrista only jrista can log in with KDM. If I set kdm to run from a /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/ script (i.e. kdm.sh*) only root can log in with KDM. >>How-To-Repeat: >Boot to command prompt. Log in under any name. Type kdm at the prompt. Try to log in under a diffrent name as the one originally logged in as. >>Fix: > >>Audit-Trail: >>Unformatted: > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
