Description Frederik Schwarzer 2010-09-22 17:09:33 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

If X needs a bit longer than usual to start (e.g. in a virtual machine or when the init system starts services in parallel) KDM does not start due to an X server timeout:
  Sep 21 13:12:01 tamaki kdm[1754]: X server startup timeout, terminating
  Sep 21 13:12:01 tamaki kdm[1754]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled

Adding "ServerTimeout=500" to the [X-*-Core] section of the kdmrc solves the issue.

Could the problem be solved by increasing the default time KDM waits for X to start?

Reproducible: Didn't try

SVN commit 1179865 by ossi:

double default ServerTimeout

in times of virtualization and parallelized boots, 15 secs are not
enough anymore (again ...).
