ffi Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 After upgrading KDE to 3.5.2 via cooker, kdm doesn´t accept keyboard input anymore, when I restart X, I can ctrl alt f1 for a very brief time, doing service dm stop and then kdm brings back the keyboard, GDM still works and so does mouse input.

arctic Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 A bug? http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21861 seems to be related to it. And remember: It is cooker you are running. Things will break in cooker. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) I went to the IRC already they had no idea, but perhaps you guys know. Maybe the keyboard is ¨mapped¨ to the wrong x-session or display, or something like that Edited April 14, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I´ve tried genkdmconf --help as was in the readme of the kdmrc directory with just about every --no-old flag there was, now I can use the keyboard but I have the same problem as described in this thread: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=31832 after logging in I´m brought back to the login screen. When I start a terminal session I can startx (after first having to do a service dm stop as root) and GDM still works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) I had made a backup of the /kdm directory after the install of 352 and replaced it with the direcory after reconfiguring with genkdmconf. Then I´m back with the original problem, no keyboard working. In this backup was also a backup of an older kdmrc (which auto logged in a user) I used that one , but then the keyboard still doesn´t work untill I reset the x-server. So to sum up: kdm directory after genkdmconf: keyboard works but not able to go to a gui (neither gnome, ice wm nor kde) kdm directory after install of 352: keyboard doesn´t work untill restarting x server older kdmrc: keyboard doesn´t work either untill restarting x server Edited April 15, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 There must be a scripting error somewhere in the kdm files. But where? I don't think that we will find a solution for that, but only KDE developers. Maybe you shouls ask in the KDE channels on irc if there is a fix. Until then I suggest to simply use another loginmanager (e.g. gdm). After all, it is only a login-manager. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffi Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I tried the kde and kde devel channel, nothing but I did get an answer from the dutch kde channel :) Under [General] in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc add the line: ServerVTs=-7 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I tried but I ran into a big problem as MDE KDE 3.5.2 refused to install (at this point I had already removed kde 351!) as it depended on files older than the installed ones (ie. from cooker). After I got this fixed and X and kde up and running again, I ran into more trouble because there were some mde xorg upgrades left. Because now cooker refused to update some program because they had depencies of which newer versions were already installed .

When happens kde appears dependeding on files older than the installed ones that i assure you is due to the urpmi repo is not well updated, and that can happen when hdlist is generated when files are being uploaded, so wait more 15 minutes for hdlist be regenerated or simply download rpms to hd and create a local upmi media.
