FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE, with KDE as desktop environment and KDM as
display manager.
I have 2 users, say user1 and user2.
Boot, KDM login as user1, OK.
Then I do a close session.
OK, KDM presents me again with the KDM login screen, login as user2, OK.
Then again, close session.
Now, the KDM login screen does not come back. I am stuck with
a cursor blinking at the upper left corner.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 brings me to the console, Ctrl-Alt-F7: no X, just a
login:prompt
If I reboot and do the same thing, but now first with user2, then user1
-> exactly same behaviour (X dies at the second close session). So,
it's not connected with user2.
Anyone a idea what could be wrong? Below are some log details:
Does this happen with xdm as well?
Have you checked with the FreeBSD kde mailing list?
If I switch in KDM to using TWM window manager (instead of KDE), login and
then logout, I'm stuck in the same way.
XDM: If I edit /etc/ttys to use xdm instead of kdm and reboot
I get login/password prompt, then a very primitive TWM window manager,
When choose exit on the menu (with one gets by left-clicking the mouse)
the frames arround the windows disappear and I don't get the menu
back, the only thing I can do is to to console mode and shutdown -r now
(and first edit /etc/ttys again for kdm)
Is there a command to
- restart the kdm window manager (after it died) from a root console prompt?
- stop en start a running kwm window manager from a root console prompt?
Concerning my initial problem - I remember that I wanted to change the
home-dir of both user1 and user2, therefore in console as root did a
rmuser, then adduser for both. Can this cause this dying of KDM manager?
