Hello,
I 'm looking for some help getting kdm to run again after an upgrade.
I have fbsd 4.3-release. I cvsupp'ed my ports tree a couple of weeks ago and
built kde-2.2 from the port. I built kde2base first with the --with-shadow \
line added to the makefile. It built & installed ok, but I'm having a few
problems. First one is with kdm. It used to work when I was using kde-1.1.2
and then still worked fine when I upgraded to 4.3 and installed kde-2.1.1
from the 4.3 cdroms.
On installing kde-2.2, I tried to run kdm, but it complained that Xsetup,
Xstartup and Xreset were missing and threw me back to kdm when I tried to
login. I hunted around on the mailing list archive and found suggertions for
Xstartup and Xreset and copied XSetup_0 to XSetup. These 3 files are in
usr/local/share/config/kdm/
That got rid of those errors, however if I login as root, kde runs ok, but I
get the errors:
kdm[523]: no modules loaded for `kde' service
kdm[536]: Session "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession" execution failed
(err 13)
and also
syslogd: /dev/:0: No such file or directory
If login as a normal user, the same errors appear and kde doesn't start, I
just get an xterm window. If I type exec startke into it, kde runs ok.
I can't figure out what is going on here.
Here are some of my config files:
/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup_0
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail
kdmdesktop
/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-30 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn helv -exitOnFail
kdmdesktop
/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup
#!/bin/sh
sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
$USER
/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xreset
#!/bin/sh
sessreg -d -w /var/log/wtmp -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
$USER
-x I also tried /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xservers in Xreset & Xstartup.
All the above have permissions 755
for both root & normal user, .xsession is:
#!/sbin/sh -xv
imwheel
#set default wm to kde
defaultwm=kde
echo $1
#set the window manager to $1 if it was supplied
windowmgr=${1:-$defaultwm}
echo $windowmgr
#start the respective window managers
case ${windowmgr} in
kde|kwm|kdestart)
WINDOWMANAGER=startkde
;;
fvwm|fvwm2)
WINDOWMANAGER=fvwm2
;;
windowmaker)
WINDOWMANAGER=wmaker
;;
enlightenment)
WINDOWMANAGER=enlightenment
;;
blackbox)
WINDOWMANAGER=blackbox
;;
failsafe)
WINDOWMANAGER=twm
;;
*) WINDOWMANAGER=twm # default for unknown wm's
esac
echo $WINDOWMANAGER
exec $WINDOWMANAGER
Cheers,
Ian
