Yep. I made sure dbus and consolekit was up a running. I even made |
| 9 |
sure the process was running, just to be for sure and for certain. ;-) |

I use kde-meta. I just pull in the whole thing and then I know I got |
| 17 |
everything satisfied as far as dependencies and such. |

I seem to recall there is a setting somewhere that disabled this. I |
| 29 |
couldn't find it in xorg.conf but I thought it was there but maybe not. |
| 30 |
The weird part is I can type in a command, like reboot, and it reboots. |
| 31 |
It's just that the kdm screen is still there instead of the console. |
| 32 |
Weird. I wish I had a Nvidia card that would go in that thing. I'd |
| 33 |
disable the built in and use that. |

Well, I may later on when it cools off. I have to work on this at night |
| 62 |
when it is cool. That room has little cooling plus two fairly full |
| 63 |
freezers. Anyway, keep in mind that KDE works in failsafe mode. It |
| 64 |
logs right in but it is somewhat limited since it is failsafe mode. I'm |
| 65 |
not sure what that is really but it seemed to work different tho. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Also, when I login, it seems to get to a little bit of a start then |
| 68 |
comes back to the login screen. The splash screen shows the hard drive |
| 69 |
then a couple other pics then goes back to kdm. I have no idea what |
| 70 |
those other little pics are tho. I do recognize the hard drive one tho. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
I also logged into Fluxbox just fine too. As usual, Fluxbox works. lol |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Thanks. Will post results later on when it cools off some. Supposed to |
| 75 |
be 102F today. That little room will get to at least 90F. |
