KDM problem after upgrade to 3.4 one user won't log in
Hello everybody, I face the problem that after upgrading to 3.4 on a 9.2 SuSE all users can log in, only one won't do. I do really need to log in this one because most of my mail accounts work with him. Please help me. I already tried : -deleting temp directories -deleting kdm config files (only effort is different look and root not allowed to log in any more :-( ) -run genkdmconf Is there any other suggestion? Greetings to all of you Michael Eichstädt

Michael, Try making a symlink to the kdmrc file ln -s /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/ You can also edit that file(kdmrc) to allow root login again. Sounds like you have done everything else to clear things up. I'm guessing you did mean /tmp rather than temp?

Hello Michael, I had the same problem but additionally X crashed :D very strange, becourse only my primary account was affected. well, I don't really know the reason for that. after deleteing ~/.kde (with a backup first) I had the same situation so I also deletet ~/ (with backup, too) and it worked. than, step by step, I recovered my home directory. I know it's not very elegant but it works. has anybody an idea what might have been the reason? Chris Mager.

Ok I think I've found the "bad file": deleting ~/.Xauthority prevents X to crash - I could have saved so much time if I knew it bevore! :D Just if anybody has the same problem. greets, Chris Mager.
