Unwanted xscreensaver process spawned by startkde (KDE4)
Guys, this is really driving me nuts.
Running KDE4 on sid. When I log in, there are always an
xscreensaver and a ssh-agent instance running, even though I log in
into an empty session:
dav...@macco:~$ ps aux | grep xscr
davide1580 0.0 0.0 7272 820 pts/1R+ 20:59 0:00 grep
--colour=auto xscr
davide3361 0.0 0.2 55196 2296 ?S20:04 0:00
/usr/bin/xscreensaver -nosplash
dav...@macco:~$ ps aux | grep ssh-
davide2689 0.0 0.0 7272 820 pts/1R+ 21:02 0:00 grep
--colour=auto ssh-
davide3377 0.0 0.0 36016 268 ?Ss 20:04 0:00
/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startkde
I'm happy about ssh-agent, I just want to get rid of
xscreensaver and use kscreensaver alone. If I just kill the process, it
pops up again next time I log in. $KDEHOME/{Autostart,env} are empty.
Grepping .kde and /etc/kde for ssh or xscre doesn't return
anything. Oh, and according to pstree, both processes are spawned by
startkde:
dav...@macco:~$ pstree | grep -C4 xscreensaver
| `-{ksmserver}
|-kdm-+-Xorg
| `-kdm---startkde-+-kwrapper4
| |-ssh-agent
| `-xscreensaver
|-kglobalaccel
|-klogd
|-kmix
|-knotify4---4*[{knotify4}]
Does anyone have any idea of how I can get rid of that *insert
expletive* xscreensaver at login?

startkde fehler nach woody update auf kde 3.1.4
Hi, ich habe auf 2 Rechnern ein kde update von 3.1.3 auf 3.1.4 unter woody gemacht. Auf einem Rechner gibt es keine Problem, beim zweiten erfolgt Fehlerabbruch bei startkde. Ich habe schon mal in den Listen gesucht und nur gefunden, dass man alle relevanten Files in /tmp und ~/.kde loeschen soll. Aber auch wenn ich die Files alle loesche passiert genau dasselbe. Einige kdeinit-Prozesse ueberleben den Absturz. Ich habe einige Files, Directorylistings und einen Teil von ps -ax angehaengt. Auffaellig für mich ist nur, dass auf dem Rechner, wo startkde abstürzt das sticky-Bit bei /tmp/.ICE-unix fehlt. Hat jemand eine Idee was da passiert und was ich tun könnte ? Wie kann man ein ausführlicheres Protokoll von startkde in den .xsession-errors erhalten ? # cat .xsession-errors startkde: Starting up... iceauth: creating new authority file /home/lutz/.ICEauthority kbuildsycoca running... kdeinit: Pipe closed unexpectedly: No such file or directory #ps ax 1117 ?S 0:00 /usr/bin/kdm 1193 ?S 0:00 kdeinit: Running... 1196 ?S 0:00 kdeinit: dcopserver --nosid 1199 ?S 0:00 kdeinit: klauncher 2458 ?S 0:02 /etc/X11/X -dpi 75 vt7 -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-PjtgI9 2459 ?S 0:00 -:0 2463 ?S 0:00 /usr/bin/kdm_greet #ls -alt /tmp total 40 drwxrwxrwt8 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 . drwx--3 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 0997337040 -r--r--r--1 root root 11 Okt 9 19:33 .X0-lock drwxrwxrwt2 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 .X11-unix drwx--2 lutz software 4096 Okt 9 19:33 kde-lutz drwxrwxrwx2 lutz software 4096 Okt 9 19:32 .ICE-unix drwx--2 lutz software 4096 Okt 9 19:32 ksocket-lutz drwxrwxrwt2 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:32 .font-unix drwxr-xr-x 35 root root 4096 Jul 16 19:56 .. /tmp/0997337040: total 12 drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 Okt 9 20:28 .. drwx--3 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 . drwx--2 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 .qt /tmp/0997337040/.qt: total 16 -rw-r--r--1 root root 1227 Okt 9 19:33 qt_plugins_3.1rc drwx--2 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 . drwx--3 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:33 .. -rw---1 root root0 Okt 9 19:33 .qt_plugins_3.1rc.lock -rw-r--r--1 root root 22 Okt 9 19:33 qtrc -rw---1 root root0 Okt 9 19:33 .qtrc.lock /tmp/kde-lutz: total 708 drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 Okt 9 20:28 .. drwx--2 lutz software 4096 Okt 9 19:33 . -rw-r--r--1 lutz software 705684 Okt 9 19:33 ksycoca -rw-r--r--1 lutz software 484 Okt 9 19:33 ksycocastamp /tmp/ksocket-lutz: total 8 drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 Okt 9 20:28 .. drwx--2 lutz software 4096 Okt 9 19:32 . srwxr-xr-x1 lutz software0 Okt 9 19:32 klauncherRn2Vjc.slave-socket srw---1 lutz software0 Okt 9 19:32 kdeinit-:0 /tmp/.font-unix: total 8 drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 Okt 9 20:28 .. drwxrwxrwt2 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:32 . /tmp/.ICE-unix: total 8 drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 Okt 9 19:32 .. drwxrwxrwx2 lutz software 4096 Okt 9 19:32 . srwxrwxrwx1 lutz software0 Okt 9 19:32 dcop1196-1065720777 #ls -alt ~lutz -rw---1 lutz software 173 Oct 9 19:33 .xsession-errors -rw---1 lutz software0 Oct 9 19:33 .Xauthority -rw-r--r--1 lutz software 1166 Oct 9 19:33 .gtkrc-kde -rw-r--r--1 lutz software 59 Oct 9 19:32 .DCOPserver_debian-e6530__0 lrwxrwxrwx1 lutz software 38 Oct 9 19:32 .DCOPserver_debian-e6530_:0 - /home/lutz/.DCOPserver_debian-e6530__0 -rw---1 lutz software 201 Oct 9 19:32 .ICEauthority drwx--4 lutz software 4096 Oct 9 19:32 .kde -rw-r--r--1 lutz software8 Oct 9 19:32 .wmrc #ls -alt ~lutz/.kde drwx--2 lutz software 4096 Sep 2 2002 Autostart drwx-- 12 lutz software 4096 Feb 11 2003 share lrwxrwxrwx1 lutz software 17 Oct 9 19:32 socket-debian-e6530 - /tmp/ksocket-lutz lrwxrwxrwx1 lutz software 13 Oct 9 19:32 tmp-debian-e6530 - /tmp/kde-lutz Danke im Voraus Lutz -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe.

Josh McKinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
You need to have X started to run KDE.
Ah, I see (thought 'startkde' would do that )
You can edit your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, at the bottom it will have
the stuff about starting gnome probably, you can just comment out the gnome
part and put 'exec startkde'
Hmm, sounds easy, but I must confess to my shame, that I do not quite under-
stand how it is working.
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc just does '. /etc/X11/Xsession' I do not understand
this X stuff well enough (and aren't fluent in bash syntax either) and
couldn't even find out, how Xsession finds out to start gnome...
While I can start gnome with 'startx' the only way I found to start KDE2
is to give startx a nonsense parameter ('startx nonsense'), which gives
me a X session with grey dotted background and a kind of terminal 'window'
where I can type 'startkde'. Still this does not look right ;-) (and the
KDE session can only be terminated by CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE)
Sorry, but I must ask again:
How do I have KDE2 and Gnome on a potato system and start either or?
Thank you for your help,
Robert Epprecht.
Re: startkde
Hello, Sorry, but I must ask again: How do I have KDE2 and Gnome on a potato system and start either or? to get KDE I type this whole line: startx startkde for Gnome I type: startx gnome-session Good luck, David Bellows

Hello, I have installed KDE2 on my potato system from kde.tdyc.com I want to have both, Gnome and KDE2. Gnome works as it should. If I do 'startkede' I get: xsetroot: unable to open display '' So I set DISPLAY to ':0' and try again: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 xsetroot: unable to open display ':0' [ ... many more ] I tried: 'DISPLAY=localhost:0' but only get a lot of lines saying _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 What did I miss?

Re: startkde cannot connect to X server
Hi! Stephan Böni ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): i have installed kde on debian linux 2.0. commands like startx or startkde return the error cannot connect to x server. what's wrong? If running startx says cannot connect to xserver this usually indicates that your Xserver isn't configured properly. Install doc-linux-text and read /usr/doc/HOWTO/XFree86-HOWTO.gz and /usr/doc/X11/* . *THEN* run either XF86Setup or xf86config to configure your xserver. startkde is run within X. see /usr/doc/kdebase/README.Debian.
