Thanks Harry, that did it. I've been ssh'ing to that machine for a couple of weeks now. I had found that the kdmrc was old, but after putting the new one there I didn't get my askpassword for my ssh key anymore. You wouldn't happen to know the solution to that one as well I suppose? BTW what does that ServerVTs=-7 mean? peter Berge, Harry ten wrote:
Hi list,
After upgrading my KDE to 3.4 I am unable to login to kde. I have no keyboard access. If I ssh to the machine and do "init 3" then "init 5" it's solved. Anyone any idea?
thx,
ps: It's not the weather, we've had al kinds of weather already here and yes the keyboard is connected and I tapped hard already, very hard... :-)
Yep. It's in your KDM configuration file '/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc'. This is your global configuration file that overrules the KDE default in '/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc'. And this is an *old* (read KDE 3.3) file.
Copy the new one or remove the old one and you have your keyboard. That's too much or too risky? Add the option 'ServerVTs=-7' to the [General] section.
