2 instances of skype running on loggin

Hello,

I've installed samba with his dependencies + I've deleted fam to install gamin,

but when I've logged out to reloggin, I had 2 instances of skype running, how? before to make some test I'd like to know if someone have a solution or how to specifically identify the problem, is it dependencies or related to fam?

best regards

Does it occur on every boot? if so, check your autostart file for youw DE/WM and also check your .xinitrc to make sure you are not starting them up multiple times.

Re: 2 instances of skype running on loggin

every boots, I'm a bit new, but I am not sure using .xinitrc but deamon from my rc.conf?

How can I check my autostart file?

Everything was o.k before I install samba

thanks

I'd start by checking in the KDE control panel for autostart programs or a session restore feature. You may also want to try exiting skype totally and re-login. KDE may be set up to automatically start Skype on boot, and the session manager may see it running when you logout and 'remember' to start it again for your next login.
