Nothing really wrong here, what it's telling you is that you changed your settings and SuSEconfig has chosen not to be responsible for messing them up for you. It's also notifying you that there may be changes in the new version that you should look at. > it has put its own version in a file ///kdm//kdmrc.SuSEconfig, but > this does not seem to exist. This is curious, are you sure its not where expected? I did #locate kdmrc.SuSEconfig and had the following outcome /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.SuSEconfig > I hope some wise and kind person can shed some light here. > Thanks > Norman > /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc - --------------------------------snip------------------------- ( I didn't read the kdmrc that you included but I don't believe it was relevent) At some point (3.1.2?) the kde upgrades conflict w/ what SuSEconfig would like to see. The effect of this was that if you use kdecontrolcenter to change your login prefs you may not get the desired result. (If you add a new window manager, user etc) I don't remember all of the details but if you are interested then I would suggest searching the [SLE] mailing list archives for things like kdm and kderc Update I used synaptic to get the rest of the new kde3.1.4 rpms and I still get the "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." message at login but no real problems after login ? curious - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ecTfBwgxlylUsJARAjAhAJ9SdKMlzS7bUIWf3kM1Zxxr17AuVACdHve5 rCCfz0LDKCfmEgRHI9Ulj0I= =gqnd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
