Cannot enter kde after reboot

Hi.
A few minutes ago I installed kernel from dibblewrecker to have ati-drivers installed.
Everything ok and I also pacman -S ati-drivers to get the drivers from community.
fglrx module not found says modprobe fglrx.
Also after the reboot although I have my user giorgos to log automatically in kde suddenly the kdm appeared and by writing giorgos and the password I cannot enter kde.Root enters without any problems but the first time i entered root it showed me the kde confgiuration wizard.

What is going on?

Re: Cannot enter kde after reboot

Hello again.

I didn't manage to solve the problem.

I boot using the original or dibblethwrecker ati-enabled kernel 2.6.12

I think that at the boot process I saw something about the drives...found an error or something I didn't catch it.(is there a way to find it in the logs?whre?)

I have set to enter kdm automatically on boot. Ok x starts, the x mouse pointer shows and:

- Before the problem my user giorgos would auto login to the kde and load the desktop.
- Now it shows the kdm, I enter giorgos and password, it accepts it goes black screen and returns to kdm
- If I enter root and password I enter the desktop without problems (this is whrere I am writing to you from)

Please help me. I canno think of a solution. I don't even know the nature of the problem.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Cannot enter kde after reboot

do you have fglrx loading at startup? when you enter kde as root does direct rendering work (glxinfo)? could you post your xorg.conf fle?

all log files should be in /var/log.

Re: Cannot enter kde after reboot

Hm.. you may have had a problem similar to me: when I installed ati-drivers, the permissions got messed up on ALOT of the folders that the package installed files to, causing my normal user to be unable to log into X.

Tell you what, log in as root, pop open a terminal, and run the following command:

ls -ald `pacman -Ql ati-drivers` 2> /dev/null

and paste the output back here. That'll let us know if the same thing's happened to you.

Re: Cannot enter kde after reboot

I did an pacman -Rsc ati-drivers
and an
pacman -S xorg and now I am in dekstop again.

I builded the ati-drivers-8.14.13-2.pkg.tar.gz and now

[root@myhost ati-drivers]# pacman -U ati-drivers-8.14.13-2.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  ati-drivers: /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2: exists in filesystem

before when the problem appeared I have done the rm libGl.so.1.2 and then the pacman -S ati-drivers and isntalled the drivers could this be the problem?

What can I do to get Ati drivers installed properly?

This happens because, as you mentioned in your last post, you just uninstalled the ATI drivers.
Reinstall them with pacman -Sf ati-drivers. (this forces an overwrite of libGL)
Then run that command again.

Re: Cannot enter kde after reboot

Yeah, you've got permission problems... see the entries that start with "drwx------"?  Those are folders that are only accessable by root, but they SHOULD be accessable by anyone.
What you'll need to do is log in as root, and do the following:

chmod a+rw /usr/ /usr/X11R6/ /usr/X11R6/bin/ /usr/X11R6/include/ /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ /usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/ /usr/X11R6/lib/ /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/ /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/ /usr/include/ /usr/include/GL/ /usr/share/ /usr/share/applnk/ /usr/share/gnome/ /usr/share/gnome/apps/ /usr/share/icons/

(all on one line)

That'll reset your permissions to the way they ought to be, and fix everything up.
