krusty:/etc/init.d # startproc -p /var/run/kdm.pid /usr/bin/kdm krusty:/etc/init.d # echo $? 7 krusty:/etc/init.d # cat /var/log/kdm.log ******************************************************************************** Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages (i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which file(s) it is logged. ******************************************************************************** krusty:/etc/init.d # what does this mean now? Now calling kdm just works. I do not know what I changed or why it works now. Anyway I cannot log in because I get "root logins are not allowed". # man syslog sound like a terribly good idea, if you ask me. KDM is unmaintained and not used in KDE Plasma 5. SDDM is the login manager used in KDE Plasma 5. If you still have this same issue with SDDM, please file an issue on the SDDM bugtracker (after doing a search for existing issues first!): https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/ |
