No graphical login (woody)
Hi,
right after upgrading to woody I still could use kdm to log in into my
machine. But some days later this wouldn't work any longer: After
login in as authorized user just restarts kdm. (Anyway instead of
going into KDE I get the login screen again.)
I can start X (with startx) from the console without any problem, but
neither kdm nor xdm work.
As this is a problem many people seem to have I went through some of
the suggestions I found, but nothing solved my problem: I deleted
90xfree86-common_ssh-agent and changed the one line in
99xfree86-common_start from "exec $realstartup" to exec $REALSTARTUP -
no success.
xdm reports the following errors:
XBanner: Could not get the font, using 'fixed' (that's just for
starting up xdm)
and than for every try to log in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: xrdb: command not found
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: egrep: command not found
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: xmodmap: command not found
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: grep: command not found
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: grep: command not found
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: grep: command not found
twm: No such file or directory
This looks to me as if there are either permissions or a path missing,
but that's just my uninformed impression and wouldn't know how to
either add necessary permissions (which?) or where to add the right
path variables (again: where?).
BTW, I'm using:
XFree86 Version 3.3.6a / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: xx November 2000
under Linux 2.4.13 i686 [ELF] (as reported by the xserver, for me it's
woody with a 2.2.19 kernel).
Would be great, if somebody could help me here!
