Post #248,887 by drewk 3/22/06 1:23:27 PM Reply	Just did that Grub was already installed, but Lilo was still doing its thing. Is there something else I need to do to make Grub take over? Will go try rebooting now to see if It Just Works while I wait for a reply. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #248,928 by drewk 3/22/06 6:50:00 PM Reply	p3t4h \|5 t3h r0Xx0Rz Now I just have to figure out why KDM is failing. It shows the line saying it's starting, the screen blanks, then I'm back at a terminal login. I log in, do `sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start` and it works fine. Also, when I [ctrl][alt][f2] to switch to a different tte, the keyboard goes flooey. Looks like I'm typing unicode characters. Well, one thing at a time. At least I'm on a 2.6 kernel now. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]
Post #248,968 by pwhysall 3/23/06 12:56:51 AM Reply	have a look in /etc/x11 There's a file in there that shows what your current display manager is - prefdm or somesuch. Wanna bet a pint that it doesn't say "kdm"?

Post #248,976 by drewk 3/23/06 2:24:29 AM Reply	Nothing for x-display-manager Though x-window-manager is set to /usr/bin/kwin. I manually went into `/etc/rc3.d/` and added an entry for kdm back when I switched from Gnome and it started working. That entry seems to be gone now. Hmmm ... Oh, and: drook@drookenstein:~$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager\n/usr/bin/kdm Like I said, I see the line where kdm tries to start, it just doesn't actually start. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
