kdm is dead
I upgraded kdm a week or so ago, and Konqueror finally
killed X yesterday. Kdm comes up, but I don't get a
background, and the user list is filled with all the
users in the system. eww (but I've already seen some
posts earlier this month on how to fix that). Anyhow, I
try to login, and get a message saying something like
'couldn't find /usr/X11R6/lib/kdm/Xsession' and what do
you know, there is no /usr/X11R6/lib/kdm directory. So
figuring something was hosed, I killed kdm, and tried
to use /etc/init.d/kdm start. I get the 'Starting kdm:
Done' message, but now it doesn't start at all. I do a
dpkg --purge kdm, and reinstall, but it still won't
start. Typing kdm from a console prompt doesn't do it
either. ps -A | grep kdm doesn't show anything. So now
I'm kinda stuck. Anyone care to lend a hand?
Thanks,
.Geoff
