Hi all,
I got two KDE-related newby questions:
1. How do I restart a KDE session after I changed some config files? In
Linux this is
/etc/init.d/kdm restart
But since there is no init.d on FreeBSD, I'm stuck.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarts X and kdm. I haven't tried it, but I suppose
you could run /usr/local/bin/startkde and see what happens. Or you could
issue a command like this kill -HUP `cat /var/run/kdm.pid`.
2. Is there any way I can shutdown KDE and get back to a root shell? If I
choose 'log out' from KDE, I am still in the KDE environment and fixed to
choose another user to login again.
If all you need is a root shell, Ctrl-Alt-F1-F7 will get you all the root
shells you'd ever need.
If you mean you want to kill the Xserver and not have it restart, kill
-TERM `ps -auxw | grep X11R6/bin/X | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
should do the trick.
If I choose 'shutdown KDE', it issues a shutdown command to shutdown my
PC, and that's also not what I want. I just want to shutdown KDE and get
back into a root shell. Think it's an easy thing to configure, but where?
btw, I'm running KDE 3.5.1 on FreeBSD 6.0.
So am I.

Re: KDM problems on fresh install of 5.3
A couple of problems that might cause this have been discussed recently in the freebsd-kde mailing list. One of them involved not having the correct KDE startup files in /usr/local/share/config/kdm (where kdmrc lives, apparently) and another had to do with commands in the shell startup scripts failing (such as user .profile or system /etc/profile). I've also seen this happen when a previous attempt to start X failed and left trash in the user's home directory and in the /tmp directory. I think the command to create the kdm startup files is genkdmconf; however, there are no associated man pages with it but it should be documented on the kde.org Web site.

While trying to configure KDM for graphical login, though, I ran into some problems. startx works fine as both root and as a regular user. However, when I run KDM and enter my username and password all that loads is another instance of KDM. This is very frustrating.

RE: KDM and FreeBSD?
Check chapter 5.7.3.1 of the FreeBSD Handbook. kdm is relatively easy to setup. GDM's setup is more work or at least the method I found on the net was. Maybe there's an easier way. I actually find GDM to be more aesthetically appealing than kdm, even though I don't really like Gnome's aesthetics. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, Remove the -nodaemon string. Ian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 August 2003 04:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: KDM won't start KDE I just installed FreeBSD 4.8 on this machine and I set up kdm to run by changing /etc/ttys to: ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon xterm on secure When it boots I get: login: ..time.. kdm[127]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 73 But KDM seems to start up fine and I get the login screen, but when I login (as either root or a user) the login dialog disappears and I'm left with the KDE background and the X cursor. If I goto tty0 I now have the message: ..time.. kdm[130]: no modules loaded for `kde' service and in bot /var/log/XFree86.0.log and kdm.log it has this message repeated about 4 times a second: AUDIT: ..time..: 124 XFree86: client 2 rejected from local host I searched on google for the above messages and found some discussion about PAM problems. I looked at pam.conf and noticed that xdm and gdm were listed in there, but not kdm. So I added an identical section for kdm but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. If I remove the kdm stuff from ttys and get a command line login I can run startx and KDE comes up just fine. Was there something else I needed to configure for KDM to run correctly?

The corresponding entry in my /etc/ttys looks like this:

No - did you also change off to on? Tell your kernel to reread
/etc/ttys (among others):
# kill -HUP 1
and, provided you got your command line right, {k,x}dm will start.
