On my /var/log/messages, kdm printed the following:
Sep 9 11:41:57 orchid kdm[11410]: Cannot create control FiFo "/var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl" Sep 9 11:41:57 orchid kdm[11410]: mkdir "/var/run/xdmctl/dmctl" failed; no control sockets will be available
When trying to create the /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl directory from the shell, it returned with an I/O error. I then simply renamed this dir to xdmctl.old and created a new xdmctl directory and tried to touch files and create dirs in it, just to make sure it would be writable. After 'rckdm restart', all was well.
Well, I had restarted X without and results, but after doing an 'rckdm restart', I have regained the 'Start New Session' menu entry. thanks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
