Well, that's what I have too and that hasn't changed in a long time. Do you have any other desktop installed that you can check startx with? (I generally install fluxbox and i3) Like 'startfluxbox' or 'startkde' from the command line?
The problem is on this my main machine, so I'm not shutting down KDM or the session and 15 open apps to try.
Uugh Felix,
I'm being stupid... I didn't focus on the "display-manager service works as expected" part.
So kdm is working as expected an the problem are the error messages:
Jul 19 07:03:49 systemd[1]: display-manager.service start operation timed out. Terminating. Jul 19 07:03:49 systemd[1]: Failed to start X Display Manager. Jul 19 07:03:49 systemd[1]: Unit display-manager.service entered failed state.
You have launched KDE3 from kdm and it then enters a failed state? Can you "Log Out", "End Current Session" and get back to the kdm greeter? Or, is that the problem, once it is launched, you can't logout and have the X-session reset to bring kdm back up?
The only thing wrong that I can see is inexplicable error messages being logged. KDM and sessions aren't working any worse than expected by the open KDE3 BOO bugs, e.g. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047852 -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
