kde login fails after last update
Last modified: 2013-02-05 12:04:51 EST
Description of problem: After the last update, it became impossible to login in a KDE session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-settings 4.9.18.fc18 How reproducible: always, to me Steps to Reproduce: 1. wait for the kdm screen to appear 2. try to login in kde session 3. Actual results: KDE session is aborted immediately, and you are brought back to login screen Expected results: KDE session starts Additional info: After some struggling, I found a script /etc/kde/env/fedora-kde-display-handler.sh that is invoked during kde startup, and, according to rpm, belongs to the above mentioned package. It contains "exit" commands that cause the whole startkde script to stop. Everything went OK by substituting the "exit" commands in that script with "return" statements. bye, thank you for the good work on fedora and KDE Fabio Brugnara
