Bug#294267: kdm: does not start on boot
Package: kdm
Severity: important
Not sure if this is directly related to
#240027 (did not find this when I first search using reportbug),
#271363 (looks somewhat related)
I have reported the bug upstream as
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96772, but the kde-developer closed
the bug as resolved wont-fix.
The original bugreport said:
I'm preparing the use of Lessdisks as a diskless workstation for Debian
edu, and while kdm works without problems using a normal workstation
(with local disk), kdm wont start unless i press a key when the console
login prompt appears. And I mean any key - Shift, enter, space (I have
not tested that many). If I wait to long, I have to log in and do
/etc/init.d/kdm restart
I have sinced customized /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers, to debug if kdm tries
to start X at all, but it did not. gdm works without problem, the same
goes with xdm.
