kdm not working

hi, when I want to start kdm, nothing happens and in /var/log/kdm.log is

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

Xorg died, signal 6
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh: line 75: pam-config: command not found

but pam-config is installed.
gdm works well, but I can’t turn off computer from KDE, it always switches back to gdm

You can edit that line, insert /usr/sbin/ right in front of the $. It is a workaround, though.

I wonder if that’s all, because I still have the greeter crash after the latest kde42 update :frowning:

Uwe

in read_sysconfig.sh is this

if “$(/usr/sbin/pam-config -q --fp)” = “auth:” ]; then
echo “PluginsLogin=generic”
fi

so this shouldn’t be problem

  • dusinm,

interesting, because there was no full path in mine.
What’s the version of kdm you have installed?

Uwe

i’ve got 4.1.3-170.2

Try a “zypper up” and see if kde related stuff gets updated. Also try and simply reinstall that single kdm package.

Me, I’m using the kde3 kdm now :frowning:
