Hi All I'm using SuSE 8.1 prof and am now in a pickle. I've just upgraded to the latest version of KDE (3.3) from 3.2 using synaptic and everything went perfectly. However, when I restart from a fresh boot of the system or from "rcxdm start" the login window never comes up and the program returns to the console in both cases. The system log only reports: "Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 127, signal 0" I also received an email to root after running SuSEConfig telling me: "the following variables seem to be doubled in /etc/rc.config and/or the files in /etc/sysconfig: /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: KDM_GREETING="" /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: KDM_GREETING="" /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: KDM_SHUTDOWN="auto" /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: KDM_SHUTDOWN="auto" /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: KDM_USERS="" /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: KDM_USERS="" please specify them correctly" These two error reports seem related but I can't locate how to fix them up and also whether that is the explanation as to why my desktop is not starting. I took the rather studid step (as I later found out) of reinstalling the version of KDE (3.0.3) that came with SuSE 8.1 prof using yast2 and then doing a new install of 3.3. However, the final result was the same, KDE 3.3 doesn't start. I'm desparate to get it up and running as term starts very soon and I still have a lot of preparation to do so has anyone got any ideas as to how to resolve this problem? I've had to resort to Windows in order to post this email message. John Satherley
