Regardless which window manager I select in kdm, all I get is a gray screen, with the blue counsel in the lower right hand corner (this is the x server running with out a window manager). It is a useless state, without the ability to execute programs.
Has anybody seen this? Is there a fix? What caused it to begin with? How can one troubleshoot this?
I take it this happened after updating to xfree-4.0, I have this happeningon 2 machines which I upgraded to xfree86-4.0. What I did to fix it (which really isn't a fix at all) was to change the default init level to 2, and just startx from the command line. It works like it it did before but without kdm.
Nope, no upgrade at all. Still running the default xfree (3.3 or something??) I really didn't change a thing...It just started happening on it's own accord. I could change to init 2, but would rather not for many reasons.
I would like to add a flag to xdm/kdm for verbose logging, but got lost in a maze of startup (rc.d) scripts.
This would be a good way to start troubleshooting. The way it stands, it's impossible to get information at to what is happening here.
