Yo, as most people here (no? :) ) I'm running kde 3.0.2, and I try to use kdm *hrm*. The problem is, as soon as it starts up, a file /etc/nologin is made which seems to prohibit normal mortal users to log in. Moreover, it kills all the console login screens. So I can only log in via kdm and as root. And then delete that file, logout again, login as normal user. I can only get my consoles back by doing an "init 3" as root.
The most rational solution would be to just dump kdm and start x with startx -- :pickyournumber . But I need kdm, since I also use a small p133 to remote boot to this box - so it needs a display manager, so I need kdm, period :-) If anyone knows a solution or a workaround, reply. thx. -- Frank Van Damme homepage: www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~m9917684 jabber (=IM): [EMAIL PROTECTED]
