AW: cannot login 2 X since upgrade 2 woody
Hi,
i was logged in via text console and i even can start kde via startx, cause
no login is necessary. but when i try logging in via xdm or kdm it fails. in
.xsession-errors it says:
Xsession: unable to launch kde X session; kde not found.
Xsession: Falling back to default session.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized
to connect to Server xrdb: Can't open display ':0'
xsetroot: unable to open display ':0'
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized
to connect to Server ksplash: cannot connect to X server :0
DCOPServer up and runing.
kdeinit: Can't connect to the X Server.
kdeinit: Might not terminate at end of session.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized
to connect to Server kcminit: cannot connect to X server :0
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized
to connect to Server ksmserver: cannot connect to X server :0
kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed
kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children.
kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children.
kdeinit: Exit.
When i had this problem last time, i commented out "use-sessreg" in
kdm.options and somehow it worked until i destroyed PAM but this time it
doesn't help (actually i'm not sure about what and where i commented out the
other time but i think it was what i told you, though, somehow it appears
strange to me that this can result in being able to log in again after
reading a bit in the manpages for sessreg)
Anyway i guess you are right in saying that i destroyed something that has
to do with the session-management. And you said i have to remove a
config-file. but what exactly do i have to do? can you further help me?

When you have such a problem you should always try logging into the
text console too, to see if it's a PAM problem.
In this case, I'm sure you will find you can log in fine to the text
console: the fact that it 'seems to start' your session almost
certainly means that is exactly what its doing.
Your session file is probably broken: I don't know how KDM manages
sessions, but you probably need to clear or delete a config file.
Does KDM not offer some kind of 'safe session' or 'bare .xsession'
option?
