Re: [gentoo-user] My Gentoo box revives (former: starting problem after 'emerge -u world')

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Collins,

Thanks for your advice.

1) How to start KDE
   

Several ways
        1) startx /usr/kde/3.x/bin/startkde
        2) /etc/rc.conf uncomment XSESSION="kde-x" then startx
		where x = 1|2

	3) /etc/rc.conf uncomment DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm

		this will give you gui login
 

Edited /etc/rc.conf
1) uncomment  XSESSION="kde-3"  (running KDE3.1)
2) uncomment and change "DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm" to
DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm
What is 'xdm' for ???

3) remove '/tmp/.X0-lock'

Rebooted Gentoo box.  It worked with gui login

2) How to add 
ROOT password
   

	login as root
	hit enter
	passwd
	enter new password twice
 

- snip-

Edited as advised.  But USER is not allowed to 'su -' on Konsole window
Permission deny.
Kindly advise how to fix it.

The cause of rendering the Gentoo box failing to reboot after "emerge -u 
world' is still unknown.  I only suspect 'upgrading betagenkernel' 
causing the box crashed.  It proceeded automatically without asking a 
single question.  I am in uncertainty of  how to run 'emerge -u world' 
in future to avoid this mishap.

Lot of thanks for your advice and time spent.

B.R.
Stephen
