I was trying to resolve a conflict while upgrading with apt-get. In the process I removed gdm2-2.4.1.6-92.ximian.8.5. I had tried XD2 for awhile, but had changed my session back to kde some time ago. I have tried changing my grom GDM to KDM and XDM, but can login to my user account only in failesafe mode to a dingle Xwindow. I can login to a KDE session as root, and I created a new user, which can login just fine as well. Seems I read in the past that something needed to be deleted in /tmp or something for a similar problem, but so far I haven't hit on the resolution.
Remove the files: /tmp/mcop-<user> /tmp/kde-<user> /tmp/ksocket-<user>
Where <user> is your login. This may solve it.
Tried that, but it didn't help. I'm considering a re-install of the OS. My hard drive is a 60gb which I have divided into thirds. First part is for WinXP, next is SuSE 9.0 Personal, and the last 20gb I have set aside for future use. I am thinking that I might as well upgrade at the same time, but I was hoping to wait for 9.2 first. At any rate, I would but the new image in the reserved space. That way I could mount the old / home/my_login, and copy/migrate mail etc. There is probably a simpler solution, but this would clean up a lot of stuff. Mel
