Hi,
for a long time i didn't use a Display Manager but now i need one but it always failed to login.
KDM tolds me: A critical error occurred. Please look at KDM's logfile(s) for more information or contact your system administrator.
In the kdm.log there is nothing spezial:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Wed Jan 24 10:27:01 2007 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compatibility { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" }; QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image Link points to "/var/tmp/kdecache-root" FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
Its not only a KDM Problem. GDM failed too. I get simple the message "authentification failed" but this message is displayed after I entered the username but before i can enter the password.
The gdm logfiel looks like the kdm file without the QImage lines.
A normal login without a Display Manager is no Problem and there is no error Message.
Has somebody a good advice for me?
Are you using pam? You can check by running: ldd /usr/bin/kdm |grep pam I think theres the problem. Maybe you don't have your display manager configured correctly. kdm uses the "kde" pam service, so you have to edit your /etc/pam.conf and use something like this: kde auth required pam_unix.so kde account requisite pam_time.so kde account required pam_unix.so kde session required pam_unix.so If you don't have a "kde" entry, it will use the "other", which probably calls pam_deny.so If you are not using pam, send me a trace of kdm to find out the problem.
