KDE log out problem

gkal · 2006-09-09 11:12:03

Hi all!

I boot directly to KDE using kdm as a deamon.

I login as a normal user.

Everything works fine but when I logout from KDE instead of going to KDE Welcome Login screen I'm presented with console login. (user is loged out)

However kdm has not been terminated because if I login to console as root and give /etc/rc.d kdm start I get [FAIL].
So I have to give /etc/rc.d/kdm stop which is a [DONE] and then /etc/rc.d/kdm start again to start KDE.

If I logout again then instead of console login that I said before I'm thrown at root's prompt which I used to start KDE.

Can anyone imagine what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot!

When you log out and are presented with the console login screen, does KDM come back if you do Alt+F7?
Also, check /var/log/daemon.log for anything suspicious.

And welcome to the boards

Thanks for replying!

No, ALt+F7 does not bring back kdm.

I just tried ''End current session'' now and the last lines in /var/log/daemon.log are:

Sep  9 14:40:40 Pumbu kdm: :0[4283]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay
Sep  9 14:40:40 Pumbu kdm[2849]: Display :0 cannot be opened
Sep  9 14:40:40 Pumbu kdm[2849]: Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling.

Does it look like an error with my xorg.conf file?

thanks

If it was a problem with your xorg.conf, then KDM wouldn't start in the first place. It is likely to be an KDM config problem. I suppose go through /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/ and look for anything suspicious... Although I don't know what suspicious actually is, so I think you should hope someone else can help you out a bit more

On a side note, things that you could check are that the "lo" network device is configured properly, and that iptables (or similar) isn't blocking anything. But these are kinda shots-in-the-dark..
