Description:   Opened: 2008-01-04 20:06 0000 
Quote from /etc/init.d/xdm:
 # kdm takes too long to create a pidfile for baselayout-2
 #PIDFILE=/var/run/kdm.pid
 PIDFILE=

This is probably not a very good idea, as it causes /etc/init.d/xdm
stop/restart to fail every time.

Roy, can you comment on the baselayout-2 part of this?

------- Comment #2 From Ken Rushia 2008-02-03 18:04:33 0000 ------- 
Confirmed here, the xdm init script now fails to start kdm on boot. This was
discussed a little bit at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-650321.html
(ignore the poor attitude there).

(In reply to comment #2)

Oops. Ignore my last comment, I somehow responded to the wrong bug :-p

------- Comment #4 From Rémi Cardona 2009-02-27 19:12:52 0000 ------- 
I'd say this is something that needs to be fixed within KDM then. Could someone
from the KDE Herd confirm that this is still a bug?

Thanks

Well, I'm not a developer, but I can say that with more recent OpenRC releases
(0.4.3{,-r1} for sure, maybe 0.4.2 too) this is no longer an issue. More
precisely: kdm hasn't been fixed to create a pid file earlier, but openrc seems
to be able to stop/restart it without any problem now.

------- Comment #6 From Tomáš Chvátal 2009-03-03 23:28:06 0000 ------- 
yep openrc restars nicely, so lets stable it :]
(and i am the developer :D)

------- Comment #7 From Rémi Cardona 2009-03-04 10:05:44 0000 ------- 
So maybe we could drop the PIDFILE foo from the xdm script entirely?

@Rob, what say you?

Cheers

------- Comment #8 From Samuli Suominen 2009-11-09 11:57:30 0000 ------- 
Is this still supposed to be a problem with Baselayout 1 and KDM 4.3.1 or
4.3.3, or was this limited to KDM 3.x ?

------- Comment #9 From Davide Pesavento 2009-11-09 16:28:49 0000 ------- 
This is definitely *not* an issue with kdm 4.3.x and openrc >= 0.4.3.

this one seems fixed, closing
