Well, after checking the syslog entries generated by kdm I realized that the problem was an I/O error on /var/run/xdmctl, where kdm writes its FIFO files. I resolved that issue and have now the Start new session menu entry back, but I am stil wondering about that spontaneous disk I/O error. In fact, I have had to reinstall my X server some time ago, as similar disk I/O related problems did occur. I use reiserfs 3.6 with standard journal on SuSE 8.2, on system boot the filesystem was reported as clean.
Has anybody experienced similar problems? What should be done?
I use ext3 on SuSE 9.0, and have also lost the 'Start new session' menu entry. I have added screens :1, :2 and :3 per your example. What did you do to correct the I/O error and what was the error? -- 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
