Re: Problem with KDM not passing to Xorg/KDE after login

Ait,

I use a normal user to login into KDM, it's just run as root, well
because you can't run KDM as a normal user....I've disabled the ability
to login as root on KDM as well....

Thanks

Kim

I'm not an expert but it seems to me that KDM system won't let you
login as root ;) It's a security measure. Have you tried to login as
ordinary user?

Hey Guys, hoping you can help.

I Have a FREEBSD 6.2-STABLE recently supped and compiled, which is a
diskless environment. The workstation I'm testing on is working fine,
Xorg 7.2 is running perfectly as is KDE (I start it up with startx
from
a user login).

However, when I run KDM as root, and try to login as the same
user, KDM
sits for about a minute, and then just returns to the KDM login
screen.
I've gotten rid of the critical error messages I've found in
kdm-bin.log, and Xorg.log.0, but still KDM will not pass to KDE/X.

Here are the excerpts from the logs (These log entries are only during
the login procedure, from when I press enter with a correct user/pass
until it returns to KDM).
