When the boot process executes, I get the error "/sbin/start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory (No such file or directory)" However, if I then log in, typing 'startx' will successfully get me into kde. Any idea what I've done wrong. My rc.conf script contains the following: # /etc/rc.conf: Global startup script configuration settings # UNICODE specifies whether you want to have UNICODE support in the console. # If you set to yes, please make sure to set a UNICODE aware CONSOLEFONT and # KEYMAP in the /etc/conf.d/consolefont and /etc/conf.d/keymaps config files. UNICODE="yes" # Set EDITOR to your preferred editor. # You may use something other than what is listed here. EDITOR="/bin/nano" #EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" #EDITOR="/usr/bin/emacs" # XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start # default with X if run with xdm, startx or xinit. The default behavior # is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the # value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts are smart enough to # look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/, # so setting it to "enlightenment" can also work. This is basically used # as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM, # allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc. # # NOTE: 1) this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc exists, and startx # is called. # 2) even if ~/.xsession exists, if XSESSION can be resolved, it will # be executed rather than ~/.xsession, else KDM breaks ... # # Defaults depending on what you install currently include: # # Gnome - will start gnome-session # kde- - will start startkde (look in /etc/X11/Sessions/) # Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps XSESSION="kde-3.5" In the /etc/X11/Sessions directory, there are two files, Xsession and kde-3.5 Thanks in advance Jeff -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
