FreeBSD presto.emulti.net 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #7: Tue Feb 13 01:37:46 CET 2007 cbillington@@emulti.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PRESTO i386
>Description:
After installing KDE 3.5.5 port from source KDM starts, but does not start the window manager (KDE or other)
>How-To-Repeat:
Install KDE port
Either edit kdmrc to preference or use KDE Control Center GUI to generate new config files in /usr/local/share/config/kdm directory
Try to log in as user or root in KDM. Login fails and KDM reappears
~/.xsession-errors shows
usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...
mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] -t prefix
Cannot find filename # (or similar message)
>Fix:
usage of mktemp command in /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession line 34 is incorrect for Freebsd
Change xsess_tmp=`mktemp` into xsess_tmp=`mktemp /tmp/foo.XXXXX`
KDM now launches window manager successfully
