Could this be because of the failed ed install? Maybe I should remerge it? |
| 6 |
I will try this... |

I will try kdm once it's compiled... hopefully it will let me log in |

That's funny, I didn't need to do this? It was done automagically for me. |

don't think it's the same problem, but for me the xdm startup/runlevel |
| 43 |
script doesn't work. I think it's because it hasn't been updated to the new |
| 44 |
runlevel/startup system? |

again, this is the new runlevel system as far as I know. You need to poke |
| 48 |
around a bit to find the right files to edit etc for configuration. |
| 49 |
And by the way, I do love the new (dependancy based) runlevel system - |
| 50 |
kudos to those invloved. |

| 53 |
by poking around I've found a new directory - /etc/modutils which you can |
| 54 |
put files in, which seems to do the job of modules.conf. To make changes |
| 55 |
take effect I've used update-modules (I think), which creates a modules.conf |
| 56 |
based on all the files from /etc/modutils added together. |

The "kdm" command run from the command line works perfectly for me(I'm |
| 62 |
using kde2.2). |
