Can't Login Into Xdm/Kdm

[rusty]

Hmm, I would try this:

Start by basically getting rid of kdm and xdm:

apt-get --purge remove xdm

apt-get --purge remove kdm

Then reinstall whichever you pefer:

apt-get -t unstable install kdm

One caveat, you might not be able to log in as root from the login screen with the latest version of kdm, that can be changed, I don't remember the file that needs to be edited , there are other posts dealing with it on this forum.

Also, if you want to get kde running from a console login type startx, once logged in.

HTH
