Subject: [gentoo-user] KDM problem
Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
Some time back after an emerge, I found out that logging into KDM would always
fail.  That is authentication appears to pass, the screen turns black, and
then it brings me back to the KDM login screen.

1) What script(s) is KDM running when it authenticates a user.
2) What log files should I look in for problems?

startx works find, loading KDE (3.3) without a problem.

Thanks
David

All the scripts that kdm runs are in /usr/kde/3.3/share/config/kdm.
Perhaps you need to look at Xsession, since that's what is run after kdm
authenticates your password.

errors go into ~/.xsession-errors

Thanks.  Here's what my .xsession-errors has.

---begin---
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server

xset:  unable to open display ":0"
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server

xset:  unable to open display ":0"
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server

xset:  unable to open display ":0"
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server

xsetroot:  unable to open display ':0'
startkde: Starting up...
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server

[ There's more, but it all comes down to the display not being accessible.]
---end---

Any suggestions?
David

A quick google search on 'Xlib: Protocol not supported by server' turned
up this link:

http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/lofiversion/index.php/t3241.html

Short answer: get rid of the pertinent ~/.{x,X}* files

Google is your friend.

A phrase I often use myself.  I guess I got in the an "email dependency rut".  
That did it, btw.  Thanks.  I think it was the .Xauthority file.
