Thanks, that made it for me! I.e. kdm starts, is configurable, and launches kde3 OK. Only thing left is to sound from KDE3. noatun crashes with SIGSEGV upon startup, and artsd logs: MCOP ObjectManager: can't find implementation for Noatun::Session. MCOP ObjectManager: can't find implementation for Noatun::StereoEffectStack. /Lennart -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Tor Sigurdsson [mailto:tosi@orku.net] Skickat: den 16 april 2002 18:35 Till: suse-linux-e@suse.com Ämne: Re: [SLE] KDE3 problems -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Michael Nelson (þriðjudagur 16. apríl 2002 15:14)

No ideas, but the same symptoms here. I've been using startx from a character mode shell and that works fine, and since I'm going to upgrade to SuSE 8.0 as soon as it arrives I figured I could live with it until then.

But I've been all over my system looking for kdmrc files and none of the ones found explain the behavior of the kde3 kdm I see... same as you, everything is set to defaults, you try to change it with kcontrol and it appears to have no effect at all.

I have posted the solution to this before ( SuSE 7.3 ) mkdir /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xaccess edit the files in /etc/SuSEconfig and change: qt2 -> qt3 kde2 -> kde3 edit /etc/init.d/xdm, change: kde2 -> kde3 Add kde3 to /usr/X11R6/bin/wmlist Add kde3 to the sessionlist in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc Add kde3 to /etc/ld.so.conf run ldconfig run rcxdm start - -- This mail is sent using KMail and Linux.
