Package: kdm Version: 4:3.1.3-1 Severity: important
Hi, after several "apt-get upgrade" (testing) kdm didnt start and executing "/etc/init.d/kdm start" results in "Not starting K Desktop Manager (kdm); it is not the default display manager." (As well as xdm -- no other window managers installed) After fiddling for a while i found out, that /etc/X11/default-display-manager contains the following line: 10 kdm/daemon_name doesn't exist which seems to be an error message of db_get or so. If found the following line in "/var/lib/dpkg/info/xdm.postinst" safe_debconf db_get "$DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER"/daemon_name So this might be a problem of xdm after all! I can reproduce the whole thing by starting "dpkg-reconfigure xdm" and switching to "kdm" there. Switching back and forth between xdm and kdm with "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" fixes the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux complexity 2.4.18-1-k7 #3 Sat Nov 29 10:23:13 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kdm depends on: ii debconf 1.3.20 Debian configuration management sy ii kdelibs4 4:3.1.4-3 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.6.10-6 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.2-4 GCC support library ii libpam0g 0.76-14 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-4 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.1-6 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxrender1 0.8.3-4 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xbase-clients 4.2.1-12.1 miscellaneous X clients ii xlibs 4.2.1-12.1 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-16 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * kdm/default_servers_nolisten_tcp: * kdm/default_servers_100dpi: * kdm/default_nolisten_udp: * shared/default-x-display-manager: kdm
