  • Bug#265895: kdebase: kde won't start with tcsh as shell

    From Cade Robinson@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 17:40:12 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: kdebase
    Version: 4:3.3.0-1
    Severity: important

    KDE 3.3.0 won't start with tcsh as my shell.
    It looks like it is trying but then dumps me back to kdm without doing anything.
    If I swith my shell to bash it works fine.

    This a "me too": I observe the same problem, immediately after the upgrade
    to 3.3. My setup is like that of the submitter, except I run a 2.4
    kernel.

    The only visible report when the problem occurs is the entries in
    "auth.log", and they don't really tell anything new:

    Aug 16 09:00:55 nellike kdm: :0[1334]: (pam_unix) session opened for user tedpcn by (uid=0)
    Aug 16 09:00:56 nellike kdm: :0[1334]: (pam_unix) session closed for user tedpcn

    This only tells me that whatever the problem is, it happens very early in
    the KDE setup process!

    Please, if there is anything I can do to help hunt down this bug, tell me,
    like turning on some trace or debug. Otherwise, the 3.3 release seems to
    work just fine and I love it - but this bug is a show-stopper.

    all the best

    take a look at #265795.

    quick fix: copy the attached file to /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession.
