Hello, I just recently installed suse9.3 (64bit AMD) and i am able to login thru the gui interface but not with any other user except my normal user and the root user. Other users in the NIS domain are not able to login. All our startup files (cshrc) are the same. I've checked to make sure the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and windowmanager has kde and kdm set correctly. We don't have .xsession files and the .xsession-errors file has the following in it: xrdb: colon missing on line 13, ignoring line xrdb: colon missing on line 14, ignoring line stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device /etc/X11/xim: Checking wether an input method should be started. INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method). Trying to start a default input method for the locale en_US.UTF-8 ... There is no default input method for the current locale. xset: bad font path element (#325), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax xset: bad font path element (#325), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax startkde: Starting up... kbuildsycoca running...

I think the line I highlighted in red above is the cause of the problem. I just don't know why I am able to login ok thru the gui and others are not. I have an NVidia video card. Also I am unable to launch firefox, under my account, from the icon on the desktop. I have to issue the firefox command on the command line. I also had to create a link for the lib_png.so.2 that firefox was looking for in order to launch from the libpng.so.3.1.2.8 file in the /usr/lib directory. Somehow I think this is related or affected by the error above. Has anyone experienced this? I've seen several posts by users just by searching for that line on google but none of them has been able resolve it. TIA. --ryan
