Re: Last apt-get upgrade broke kdm

[Ernie Pasveer <EPasveer@houston.rr.com>]

Hi Doug,

Yah, this bit me too. Someone has posted a debian bug report already, but 
here's a solution that another person posted.

Edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and change the "AuthDir" entry to /dev/null

[General]
AuthDir=/dev/null    # /var/lib/kdm
ConfigVersion=2.0
PidFile=/var/run/kdm.pid
Xservers=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers
