(not kterm, kdebase!): kdm puts funny error in syslog
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:49 EDT
Every time a user connects to kdm, the following message is logged: Apr 4 01:50:00 ironclad kdm[19848]: can't execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup" (err 2) I assume this is because the file that is there instead, Xsetup_0, was renamed to that to allow a different Xsetup file per X host, but kdm wasn't updated to this fact. A symlink would be easiest, but it would be nice if kdm had this functionality as well. BTW, kde* is missing from your component menu.

you must have edited your /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config at some time, or have an older version, because the version we ship does point correctly at Xsetup_0 not plain Xsetup.
[root(2)@ironclad xdm]# rpm -q XFree86 kdebase XFree86-3.3.3.1-41 kdebase-1.1-11 [root(2)@ironclad xdm]# rpm -V XFree86 kdebase | grep - v "/usr/share/icons" S.5....T c /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers S.5....T c /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession [root(2)@ironclad xdm]# grep Xsetup xdm-config # this part is right DisplayManager._0.setup: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 [root(2)@ironclad xdm]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xdm start Starting KDE Display Manager: [ OK ] ## Attempt remote connect from saurik.saurik.com ## [root(2)@ironclad xdm]# tail /var/log/messages -n 6 Apr 24 11:04:26 ironclad xdm: kdm startup succeeded Apr 24 11:04:55 ironclad kdm[20273]: can't execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup" (err 2) Apr 24 11:04:55 ironclad kdm[20274]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Apr 24 11:04:55 ironclad kdm[20266]: Display saurik:0 cannot be opened Apr 24 11:04:55 ironclad kdm[20266]: Display saurik:0 is being disabled Apr 24 11:04:58 ironclad kdm[20278]: can't execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup" (err 2) Now I am even getting the XOpenDisplay problem which I wasn't before. On top of all this, kdm DOES come up on the remote screen. Now, let's log in: [root(2)@ironclad xdm]# tail /var/log/messages -n 3 Apr 24 11:06:50 ironclad PAM_pwdb[20275]: (kde) session opened for user saurik by (uid=0) Apr 24 11:06:50 ironclad kdm[20266]: Unknown session exit code 2816 from process 20275 Apr 24 11:06:53 ironclad kdm[20385]: can't execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup" (err 2) Unknown exit code from 20275? PAM_pwdb? At this point my login is snuffed and I get disconnected.
