General Support - Cosmetic but annoying problem eriks - 06.10.2006, 20:07 Uhr Titel: Cosmetic but annoying problem
A few weeks back after DU has disappeared the kde's log in window and the classic, grey debian log in has appeared instead.
Other think is that from Log out window have vanished two buttons. I think one is Shut down and other Reboot or something. I was left with the middle button End Current Session.
Yes I know I can access all this functions from console, but it little bit spoils my experience of otherwise brilliant Kanotix distro. Any ideas?

Well it sounds like KDM has gone away. I've seen some other posts about this same problem but do not know the reason for it.
Code:
$ su
# unfreeze-rc.d
# rcconf
Make sure KDM is marked to run on boot.
You can also start KDM from a virtual terminal. Something like:
CTRL+ALT+F1
Code:
# /etc/init.d/xdm stop
# /etc/init.d/kdm start
To set KDM as the default login manager:
Code:
# dpkg-reconfigure kdm
Select KDM when prompted.

Thanks mzilikazi for response. Before I do something with kdm reconf I emphasise that apart of two things I have mentioned kdm is working perfectly.
