Without knowing more, it looks like there has been a requirement added for the /var/run/displaymanager.pid file which is never found. Instead, for kdm3, I have
/var/run/kdm.pid
not /var/run/displaymanager.pid
thats the bug. I struggeld above the same. /usr/lib/systemd/system/displaymanager.service uses displaymanager.pid which should be a link to kdm.pid (or whatever displaymanager you use). Look at line 203 in /usr/lib/X11/display-manager
Does this link exist?
I can't grok. Link in line 203 of /usr/lib/X11/display-manager? -rwxr-xr-x 1 7227 Aug 2 09:29 display-manager ln -snf $PIDFILE $PIDFILELNK And, when? When troubleshooting, I'm in multi-user, not graphical. I actually have two TW20080928 installations on one PC, both with kdebase3-kdm as only DM, but one with only KDE3 & IceWM, and one with only Plasma & IceWM. With KDE3, KDM3 worked yesterday. The one with Plasma caused my OP. However, just booted it, logged in via KDM, and /var/run/kdm.pid rather than displaymanager.pid existed. Thinking I was misremembering, I rebooted to the KDE3 installation, and KDM failed to start, with /var/run/kdm.pid existing. The whole boot process on this PC seems really slow, so maybe there is a physical timing issue involved causing the display-manager.service timeout?
