Now, whenever I try to login to KDE it always starts the failsafe i.e. a single xterm. It doesn't matter what session type I select in KDM, I always get failsafe so no KDE for me. If I start KDE using startx and a .xinitrc with "exec startkde" everything is fine and KDE starts. However, multiple users on the machine so having KDM working would be good. Any ideas what could be wrong?... if you need output from certain logs etc. just let me know. Thanks, Phil. ------------------------------ I just upgraded too, and ran into similar problem I couldn't even get to failsafe from kdm I turned off /etc/ttys tty8(kdm) and rebooted and started with startx and it came up from root acct I typed in kdm and got the same problemb so I restarted the x server and noticed a couple of warnings about not being able to find files Xreset Xsetup in /usr/local/share/config/kdm when I looked the files that used to be there were not there or empty except for read me. I deleted all files in this dir then from a consol I ran; genkdmconf --help genkdmconf --no-old all works well now hope this helps Larry
