[gentoo-user] Xdm doesn´t start anymore

[Oliver Klein]

 Hi 


After update the hole system xdm doesn´t start anymore. During the boot
process i saw this error message

/sbin/start-stop-daemon stat /usr/bin/xdm no such file or directory
Error could not start the display manager

I have installed xorg-7.0 and in my rc.conf i add the following lines

ISPLAYMANAGER="xdm"
XSESSION="kde-3.5"

So what´s wrong here and how can i solve this? Thx in advance!

Regards
Olly

Did you follow the migration guide [1]? Did you emerge x11-apps/xdm (or 
virtual/x11)? If you did please post the output of (equery is part of 
app-portage/gentoolkit):

# equery check x11-apps/xdm

You should probably set this line to DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

At least that's how I have mine set and it works.

Hi

Thx a lot that was the mistake, x11-apps/xdm was not installed, but i´m sure
it was installed befor update the system...now i got a login window. But it
was not very comfortable and the background is full with "snow" like a bad
TV frame. Any ideas how to fix this...

Regards
Olly
