It is a mystery why this machine just rebooted into runlevel 5 with this corrupt config file, but refused to do so previously.
You switched kdm -> sddm back?
It is also a mystery why it keeps getting corrupted. Would it help if I log out, switch to runlevel 3 to modify the file, then go back to runlevel 5?
I saw that kind of corruption of that file awhile ago. Iiuc you're not supposed to text-edit KDE configs while "in use" by the DE. Drop to init 3, edit, reboot - is what I'd try. Or better, recreate the file in case something's screwy at that inode. So mv /etc/sddm.conf /etc/sddm.conf.OLD edit /etc/sddm.conf copy/paste the contents of /etc/sddm.conf.OLD => /etc/sddm.conf reboot I'm not 100% sure that's all I needed to do. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
