Debian / Sarge / main This is continuation of the following thread: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/browse_thread/thread/0ba07cce9a5d0a6b/066a545b5852bfd4#066a545b5852bfd4
I did some research and it appears that when logging in using KDM the following happens: 1) /etc/X11/Xsession runs fine until exit 0 2) ~/.xsession-errors file contains only one line $ cat .xsession-errors Xsession: X session started for luser at Fri Sep 16 00:59:09 EDT 2005 3) KDM login process never seems to get to /usr/bin/startkde (the following echo never prints anything ) ... # because we still need to do some cleanup. echo '-------------------------------- 1' 1>&2 trap 'echo GOT SIGHUP' HUP 4) ~/.Xauthority file has the length of 0 bytes after a failed login. 5) $ cat .xinitrc #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/startkde If I quit KDM by selecting console login from the menu, then login as myself (a regular local user) from the regular console, I can start KDE with "startx". KDE starts and works fine. Any ideas? Thanks --------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
