Re: killed gui...

Lonnie,     Honestly I don't remember what I did, have been using the kde2 for some time and installed via console..   How can I check my kdm for kde2 to see if it has PAM support, since those are the only messages I receive? Can a user specifically run kde2 from a console they login, or must it start from the kdm?(Of course I have every intentions of fixing this), but I truly hate using lookout to send and receive mail  8^(.. could do the pine  but I like kmail(and all my pretty filters)       Bill Day ( a.k.a.

I haven't been following this closely, so i apologize if this was already covered.  Did you build the new version of kdm from source, or was it a precompiled binary?  I'm wondering if you built if from source, you didn't include PAM support, or something like that? --- Tim Wunder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Previously, BadMan chose to write: > > This is what I receive in tail -f /var/log/secure from the kde2 kdm: > > Dec 23 17:29:03 linuxbox PAM-warn[2726]: service: kde [on terminal: > :0] > > Dec 23 17:29:03 linuxbox PAM-warn[2726]: user: (uid=0) -> bill > [remote: > > ?nobody@?nowhere] Dec 23 17:30:05 linuxbox PAM-warn[2726]: service: > kde [on > > terminal: :0] Dec 23 17:30:05 linuxbox PAM-warn[2726]: user: (uid=0) > -> > > root [remote: ?nobody@?nowhere] > > > > I can find no other items with errors from attempted logins...  I > have been > > doing all this without reboots(and hope to continue so) > > > > Any other Ideas where I should look for possible problems...? > > Can you return things to the way they were and start over? > > Can you log in as root and edit the login manager from within KDE?
