Guys,
I started the kdm greeter and it started fine on vt:07. It listed my login and looked nice. I type my password, hit return and .. "Login Failed" Huh?
I looked though kdmrc and there didn't seem to be anything that would prevent a user login. root wasn't allowed, but that is the default.
Anybody else seeing this? Any thoughts on why?
Be sure that you compiled kdebase with pam support.
Serghei,
I think I'm missing the link to the <trinity>.desktop file that provides the choice to launch trinity to the kdm chooser. The only sessions listed are:
default failsafe
Where do the "session" links go for Trinity? I created a desktop file in:
08:02 supersff:/opt/trinity/share/config/kdm> cat /etc/X11/sessions/trinity.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/bin/starttrinity TryExec=/usr/bin/starttrinity Name=Trinity Comment=The Trinity Desktop Environment. A powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment
But where do I need to create the link for Trinity to find it? I suspect I will need to create a specific desktop and link in the Arch kdebase package that will solve this issue. I just have to figure out what and where :)
Also, kdebase should have pam by default. Is there a command I can run against kdebase to check the compile options?
I have no /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, so we can cross that off the list.
