Andrew,
Sounds like a problem with your kdmrc file. Try commenting out the
[Desktop0] section, or creating a backup of the original file and
removing it from kdmrc.
I tried deleting the [Desktop0] line to no avail. Also, this still works
at my job where I have, again, and XP box and a Linux box running
Mandrake 9.1. In comparing the kdmrc files I see that the first line is
[Desktop0] both at home and at work. Don't understand why it works at
work and complains at home.
You will then have to restart kdm. I believe you can do that on
Mandrake with (as root): 'service xdm restart' or perhaps 'service
kdm restart'.
Actually I found that what get's run is mdkkdm and have killed it and
restarted it, again, to no avail.
Of course, you can always do 'init 3' followed by an 'init 5' about a
minute later. Or, you can reboot.
I've even downloaded my working kdmrc file from work to no avail. I
don't think I tried rebooting yet. Note that the differences between my
home kdmrc and my work kdmrc seems to be minor and trivial - thinks like
users shown on the login screen and who can reboot.
The README states:
The configuration files in this directory were automatically generated.
As the used algorithms are pretty dumb, the configuration may be broken.
This configuration consists of the following files:
- /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xservers
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xaccess
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xwilling
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xresources
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xstartup
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xreset
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
- /usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc
This configuration was derived from the following files:
- /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
- /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
- /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
- /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources
Have a look at the program <kdebase-sources>/kdm/kfrontend/genkdmconf
if you want to generate another configuration.
Kinda odd that /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc is generated from the same
file! Also I don't have <kdebase-sources> with which to generate another
configuration!
