Description Carolina Feher 2004-04-24 10:46:33 UTC

With xdm I can login as root and as a normal user but with kdm I can only login as root. When I try to login as a normal user, KDE doesn't load, it goes back to kdm. Downgrading to KDE 3.2.1 solved this issue.
I'm using xorg, not xfree.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/xdm start
2. kdm loads
3. I try to login as a normal user

Actual Results:  
KDE doesn't load, it goes back to kdm.

Expected Results:  
KDE should have loaded.

should be nothing different.  I'd recommend a reboot to make sure all config file got loaded.

This has happened to me before and I resolved it by running:
chown -R user:user /home/user
substitute your username for user above.

Should not be an issue anymore.
