KDM/KDE Login screwed after dist-upgrade today
Hi All On tty1 I enter a /etc/init.d/kdm start After getting the KDM/KDElogin screen I type in my password for an underpriviledged user, try to login with that, the login screen disappears, the display is getting black, and I'm thrown back at the same login screen again. And yes, auth.log says that the login was OK, something like: .. session opened for user [ .. ] .. session closed for user [ .. ] The culprit must be in one of the packages next below, that I upgraded today. And IIRC this issue happened *only* after that upgrade: [The text below is the result of typing ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list | less .. please ignore the cruft around it ... ]: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root265 May 4 15:25 xvfb.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root429 May 4 15:25 xsltproc.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root135 May 4 15:25 xlibs-data.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root151 May 4 15:25 xnest.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root150 May 4 15:25 xlibmesa-gl-dev.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1849 May 4 15:25 xaw3dg.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root141 May 4 15:25 xlibmesa-dri.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root138 May 4 15:25 xlibmesa-gl.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root165 May 4 15:25 x-window-system-core.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root150 May 4 15:25 x-window-system.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root117 May 4 15:25 xorg.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root611 May 4 15:25 ucf.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root877 May 4 15:25 nfs-kernel-server.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root538 May 4 15:25 libxslt1.1.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13859 May 4 15:25 metacity-common.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root422 May 4 15:24 libmetacity0.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root531 May 4 15:24 metacity.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root141 May 4 15:24 libglu1-xorg.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10826 May 4 15:24 kernel-package.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1366 May 4 15:24 po-debconf.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12075 May 4 15:24 k3b.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1100 May 4 15:24 libk3b2.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root381 May 4 15:24 libfam0.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root321 May 4 15:24 libfam0c102.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 78010 May 4 15:24 firefox.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root157 May 4 15:24 mozilla-firefox.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3380 May 4 15:24 fetchmail.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root514 May 4 15:24 fetchmailconf.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root482 May 4 15:24 fam.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1651 May 4 15:24 barrage.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root976 May 4 15:24 nfs-common.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2621 May 4 15:24 dictionaries-common.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root209 May 4 15:24 xserver-xorg.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2292 May 4 15:23 xserver-xorg-core.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root171 May 4 15:23 xserver-xorg-video-all.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root399 May 4 15:23 xserver-xorg-video-v4l.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6888 May 4 15:23 xbase-clients.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root920 May 4 15:23 x11-common.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root147 May 4 15:23 xfree86-common.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root188 May 4 15:23 libxft2.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root493 May 4 15:23 libxft-dev.list --- If this might help: $ dpkg -l | grep -i xserver-xorg [slightly cut for readability] ii xserver-xorg 7.0.16 ii xserver-xorg-core 1.0.2-8 ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1.0.0.5-2 ii xserver-xorg-input-kbd1.0.1.3-2 ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1.0.4-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-all7.0.16 ii xserver-xorg-video-ati6.5.8.0-1 ii xserver-xorg-video-chips 1.0.1.3-3 ii xserver-xorg-video-fbdev 0.1.0.5-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-glint 1.0.1.3-3 ii xserver-xorg-video-imstt 1.0.0.5-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-mga1.2.1.3.dfsg.1-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-nv 1.0.1.5-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-s3 0.3.5.4-3 ii xserver-xorg-video-s3virge1.8.6.5-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-savage 2.0.2.3-4 ii xserver-xorg-video-sis0.8.1.3-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-sisusb 0.7.1.3-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-tdfx 1.1.1.3-3 ii xserver-xorg-video-trident1.0.1.2-2 ii xserver-xorg-video-v4l0.0.1.5-1 ii xserver-xorg-video-vga4.0.0.5-2 -- Last relevant /var/log/kdm.log: - X Window System Version 7.0.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.0 Build Operating System:Linux 2.4.25 ppc Current Operating System: Linux debby 2.6.14.1-untouched #1 Wed Nov 16 15:13:45 CET

I had the exactly same problem today with XDM. Now I am using GDM as a workaround. Regards, Bin

And this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365710 says kdm is the culprit: I doubt that, as the packages upgraded today do not seem to be KDE/KDM packages. Right?
