 Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2009 12:01 pm Post subject: After logging in with KDM4 KDM restarts |
 |
|
Hi,
if I enter my username and password in KDM, it goes to blackscreen, and then restarts
KDM.LOG gives
| Code: |
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
|
Any ideas? |

| Please post some more information, especially about the versions of xorg-server, mesa and your video driver. You might also try if setting "Enabled=false" in the "[Compositing]" section of ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc works for you; I have observed this behaviour sometimes when there were issues with the OpenGL driver. |

| You forgot to mention whether you tried removing lockfile or not. |

I dont need to remove the lockfile, as my /tmp is tmpfs. It will be gone after each restart...
I will try the compositing option... |

EDIT: Tried both, none works.
Can I ask a question? Does KDM login stop X? I thought it must be kept alive? |

~/.xsession-errors does not exist !?????
Xorg.log also tells kdm_greet error while loading shared library libQtDBus.so.4 is missing... |

For the moment, focus on this - emerge it. |

Can you post this :
| Code: |
# cat /etc/rc.conf
# cat /etc/env.d/90session

Hi,
rc.conf:
| Code: |
# Global OpenRC configuration settings
# Set to "YES" if you want the rc system to try and start services
# in parallel for a slight speed improvement. When running in parallel we
# prefix the service output with it's name as the output will get
# jumbled up.
# WARNING: whilst we have improved parallel, it can still potentially lock
# the boot process. Don't file bugs about this unless you can supply
# patches that fix it without breaking other things!
rc_parallel="no"
# Set rc_interactive to "YES" and you'll be able to press the I key during
# boot so you can choose to start specific services. Set to "NO" to disable
# this feature.
rc_interactive="YES"
# If we need to drop to a shell, you can specify it here.
# If not specified we use $SHELL, otherwise the one specified in /etc/passwd,
# otherwise /bin/sh
# Linux users could specify /sbin/sulogin
rc_shell=/sbin/sulogin
# Do we allow any started service in the runlevel to satisfy the depedency
# or do we want all of them regardless of state? For example, if net.eth0
# and net.eth1 are in the default runlevel then with rc_depend_strict="NO"
# both will be started, but services that depend on 'net' will work if either
# one comes up. With rc_depend_strict="YES" we would require them both to
# come up.
#rc_depend_strict="YES"
# rc_hotplug is a list of services that we allow to be hotplugged.
# By default we do not allow hotplugging.
# A hotplugged service is one started by a dynamic dev manager when a matching
# hardware device is found.
# This service is intrinsically included in the boot runlevel.
# To disable services, prefix with a !
# Example - rc_hotplug="net.wlan !net.*"
# This allows net.wlan and any service not matching net.* to be plugged.
# Example - rc_hotplug="*"
# This allows all services to be hotplugged
#rc_hotplug="*"
# rc_logger launches a logging daemon to log the entire rc process to
# /var/log/rc.log
# NOTE: Linux systems require the devfs service to be started before
# logging can take place and as such cannot log the sysinit runlevel.
#rc_logger="YES"
# By default we filter the environment for our running scripts. To allow other
# variables through, add them here. Use a * to allow all variables through.
#rc_env_allow="VAR1 VAR2"
# By default we assume that all daemons will start correctly.
# However, some do not - a classic example is that they fork and return 0 AND
# then child barfs on a configuration error. Or the daemon has a bug and the
# child crashes. You can set the number of milliseconds start-stop-daemon
# waits to check that the daemon is still running after starting here.
# The default is 0 - no checking.
#rc_start_wait=100
# rc_nostop is a list of services which will not stop when changing runlevels.
# This still allows the service itself to be stopped when called directly.
#rc_nostop=""
# rc will attempt to start crashed services by default.
# However, it will not stop them by default as that could bring down other
# critical services.
#rc_crashed_stop=NO
#rc_crashed_start=YES
##############################################################################
# MISC CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
# There variables are shared between many init scripts
# Set unicode to YES to turn on unicode support for keyboards and screens.
unicode="YES"
# Network fstypes. Below is the default.
net_fs_list="afs cifs coda davfs fuse fuse.sshfs gfs glusterfs lustre ncpfs nfs nfs4 ocfs2 shfs smbfs"
##############################################################################
# SERVICE CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
# These variables are documented here, but should be configured in
# /etc/conf.d/foo for service foo and NOT enabled here unless you
# really want them to work on a global basis.
# Some daemons are started and stopped via start-stop-daemon.
# We can set some things on a per service basis, like the nicelevel.
#export SSD_NICELEVEL="-19"
# Pass ulimit parameters
#rc_ulimit="-u 30"
# It's possible to define extra dependencies for services like so
#rc_config="/etc/foo"
#rc_need="openvpn"
#rc_use="net.eth0"
#rc_after="clock"
#rc_before="local"
#rc_provide="!net"
# You can also enable the above commands here for each service. Below is an
# example for service foo.
#rc_foo_config="/etc/foo"
#rc_foo_need="openvpn"
#rc_foo_after="clock"
# You can also remove dependencies.
# This is mainly used for saying which servies do NOT provide net.
#rc_net_tap0_provide="!net"
##############################################################################
# LINUX SPECIFIC OPTIONS
# This is the number of tty's used in most of the rc-scripts (like
# consolefont, numlock, etc ...)
rc_tty_number=12

and 90session does not exist... ??? |

Do you have 'consolekit' set to start automatically?
When I rebuilt this box, I installed KDE4 fresh (as opposed to over KDE3.5.#) and every time I tried to log in to KDM, it would accept my log-in creds, go to a black screen and then recycle to the log in screen. Finally, after much cursing (and reading) I finally stumbled over 'consolekit' and added it to the default run level. Problem solved! |

| As you could expect, libQtDBus.so.4 belongs to x11-libs/qt-dbus. |

This worked for me, thanks!
Odd thing, on my main desktop (the one I am on now) I don't need consolekit running and I can still login via kdm. I am pretty sure I killed all KDE 3.5 files and started from scratch, to include the configuration files in the home directories. The machine where I had this problem is a fresh install from ground up. No cheats like a system-wide tarball, etc...
Any ideas for the differences? |

| Maybe Kde 4 needs consolekit or udev or something else cannot handle the creds like it used to. |

Thanks!!!! You are a life-saver! Your cursing, searching, and stumbling has saved me a few of those steps! I really appreciate you sharing your experience!

| In fact, consolekit is really needed nowadays for Gnome and KDE for sure. |
