Description of problem: KDE logout doesn't work Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): KDE 3.5.8-7.fc8 How reproducible: Every time I try it in this session! I also think I remember it happening with an F8 test live image Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to log out. Actual results: You can't, either with the lock/logout applet or the K menu Expected results: You are presented with the logout dialog. Additional info: This was after entering several bug reports, interrupted by a break lasting about an hour during which the screen was locked.
We issued a 0-day update to address a similar issue, knetworkmanger-0.2-0.7.fc8, please update, and confirm whether or not that helps you.
I'm using kdebase-3.5.8-5.fc8 ATM with the latest & greatest updates updates there are for F8. I've also been experiencing this issue. As a temporary solution I had DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" in my /etc/syscondif/desktop file and everything worked as expected. Today I tried removing the config file and everything seems to work correctly.
rpm -q knetworkmanager ?
knetworkmanager-0.2-0.7.fc8 Please not that I'm not using (k)networkmanager at all.
If it's installed, it (nm-applet) still tries to run. If you're not using it, rpm -e knetworkmanager NetworkManger-gnome and see if that helps.
I probably didn't phrase it right - it works for me, everything is fine and working as expected. That's what I meant by 'Today I tried removing the config file and everything seems to work correctly.' :-)
Do you have gdm installed? If so, removing the config file means you're now using gdm instead of kdm.
Yes, I do have gdm installed. It works with both kdm and gdm.
I've run yum update several times since I reported the problem. It seems to have been corrected.
Thanks.
