 Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 11:15 am Post subject: kdm login fails (KDE4) |
 |
|
on my x86 machine kde4 is stable now and I upgraded the packaged and removed some kde3 stuff so kdm4 finally starts. But when I try to login, the screen shortly becomes black and then I am back to the kdm login-screen.
But starting kde4 with startx and startkde works well. A friend with arch=amd64 has the same problem too.
In google I found this problem elsewhere but no solution. The problem seems to be related to the kdm.log message

(EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard

but I don't know how to fix that. I am using the following hal fdi for my keyboard it always worked well:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!-- Keyboards (and everything else with buttons) -->
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
|
xorg.conf doesn't have any inputdevices or inputdevice sections.
In one forum they said, they resolved this problem by deactivating some keyboard accessibility features in kde4 by using another windowmanager but the problem is, that on my machine there are 240 users and I definitely don't want to do it this way.
Who knows more? |

I had some trouble with my umask, hald was not able to read the fdi file, so there was no keyboard. The keyboard error disappeared finally, but kdm still continues to return to the login screen. I am trying to find out more errormessages. If I know more, I'll post them here.
XSESSION sets the session type for startx. Disabling it uses xdm, setting it to kde-4.3 uses kdm (which works, but the problem with the nonfunctional login screen remains). |

| yeah, I found another posting here that helped me: kdm needs consolekit, so all you have to do is to add it to default runlevel |
