Hallo Werner,
Go to a text console:
<ctrl/strg>+<alt>+<f1>
login, open root shell:
$ sudo bash
look where X is running:
# ps ax|grep X
1328 tty7 Ss+ 0:42 /usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0
vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-zF79Xa
first column is process id - later referenced als <pid of X>, second is the
terminal where X is running. in my case, I could go back to X by pressing
alt>+<f7> as it's running on tty7.
look, which login manager is running:
# ps ax|grep dm
1320 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/kdm
3739 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto dm
in my case, kdm from trinity.
Now kill kdm:
# /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity stop
make sure X is gone:
# kill -9 <pid of X>
restart kdm:
# /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity start
if you cannot configure these things in
controlcenter->login manager
then you're missing something in your trinity installation or it is some
other login manager from mint (xdm ?)
as I wrote yesterday when I started this thread, there is only kdm-trinity
installed.
Is there a way to test kdm? sudo kdm doesn't do anything.
