Subject: [Cooker] uninstalling msec breaks kdm/kdeinit startup ($PATH problem)
I uninstalled msec because I do my security by my own. Then when I
tried to login from KDM, starting KDE stopped in the beginning with an
ERROR (couln't read networking info from /tmp/.dcop.... make sure
dcopserver is running). When I started KDE with "startx" or from GDM
then KDE started ok.
So I looked into .xsession-errors and found that kdeinit cannot find
"iceauth" binary. So uninstalling msec make KDM environment missing
/usr/X11R6/bin PATH element and that causes kdeinit/dcopserver failing
to start. Installing msec (particularly /etc/profile.d/msec* files)
again makes to problem go away).
I think that uninstalling msec should cause problems with starting KDE
:-)
==========================
There are many simple workarounds how to add PATH setting somewhere, I
let the decision on MDK maintainers
P.S. PLEASE STOP USING STUPID SUBJECTS! THINK TWICE!
