Hello, I am having some problems setting up kde's GUI login manager (kdm). I am running FreeBSD 4.5 and XFree86 4.2. I am getting the following error when I try to test it: <--start--> www# kdm -nodaemon Jun 11 22:55:29 www kdm[5143]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 81 Jun 11 22:55:31 www kdm[5146]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jun 11 22:55:31 www kdm[5146]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Jun 11 22:55:33 www kdm[5153]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jun 11 22:55:33 www kdm[5153]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Jun 11 22:55:35 www kdm[5160]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jun 11 22:55:35 www kdm[5160]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Jun 11 22:55:37 www kdm[5167]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Jun 11 22:55:37 www kdm[5167]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Jun 11 22:55:37 www kdm[5143]: Display :0 is being disabled (restarting too fast) <--end--> I have not configured anything in any files as I am unsure of which to edit because the FreeBSD handbook does not seem to cover KDE3, nor does the KDE.org documentation and I am hesitant to blindly use the 2.2 instructions. It appears that you only HAVE to edit the /etc/ttyv file for it to work, but until I can start it from the prompt without errors I do not want to try to boot into it. "xdm" seems to work fine, any ideas on why I am receiving this error with "kdm"?? Please reply to this email address as well as the list, I am not a regular member to the -questions list. Thank you for your time and any help you can give. Sincerely, Thomas Kersten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
