Re: [gentoo-user] Can't login using KDM
Hello Daniel, Just to clarify, this is a problem with all 2.6.12 releases (not just -gentoo-r4) Thanks for the information. I only became aware of the issue when -gentoo-r4 became stable.

Thanks for this information. It helped to solve my problem. :) Uwe Daniel Drake wrote: Sean Higgins wrote: Did you recently update your kernel? There is a problem with gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4.

Yes, and it'll be fixed upstream for 2.6.12.3 and 2.6.13 :) Daniel begin:vcard fn:Uwe Klosa n:Klosa;Uwe org:Uppsala University;Electronic Publishing Centre adr:;;;Uppsala;;75120;Sweden email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:+46 (0)18 471 7658 url:http://publications.uu.se/epcentre version:2.1 end:vcard

Did you recently update your kernel? There is a problem with gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4. There is a bug in iptables that causes problems with KDE logins. If you stop iptables, your login will work. If you upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r5, the problem will be solved. Sean On Tuesday 12 July 2005 10:46 am, Yuval Scharf wrote: Hi, I'm using KDE 3.4. Since few days ago I can't login using KDM.

Hi Check the permissions on /dev/null If these are not crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 11 19:32 /dev/null then please run env-update source /etc/profile etc-update All the best Simon On Tuesday 12 July 2005 16:23, Zac Medico wrote: Yuval Scharf wrote: Hi, I'm using KDE 3.4.

Check etc-update to see if there any config files that need to be updated.
