The package upgrade scripts - will not remove Xservers even if kdmrc has been upgraded, if they detect - local modifications. This should allow administrators to merge their - Xservers changes into kdmrc before themselves removing Xservers. The new - ServerArgsLocal key in kdmrc is where most old Xservers customizations - should be placed. - - * Irrespective of the removal of the Xservers file, we highly recommend that - all administrators accept the installation of the updated kdmrc file - during the package upgrade. Many important changes to KDM's defaults have - been made, and KDM is exceedingly bad at handling anything but the latest - kdmrc format, so the nuissance of re-customizing KDM will likely prove - less than the nuissance of dealing with a KDM that isn't working properly. - If you have already upgraded KDM package without accepting the new kdmrc, - purging and reinstalling the package should achieve the desired result. - - *** Changes to user login script handling: - - * Another important change that users upgrading from KDM 3.3.x may notice - is that KDM's ability to source personal login scripts, long disabled, has - been restored. The exact files sourced on login will depend on the user's - choice of shell. For users of bash, KDM will source /etc/profile, followed - by ~/.bash_profile or, if that is not present, ~/.profile. Note that KDM - is NOT spawning a login shell, but is merely mimicking the behaviour that - popular shells would exhibit if they were login shells, by manually - sourcing the customary login scripts. /etc/trinity/kdm/Xsession controls this - behaviour. - - * The important downside of the above approach is that KDM will utterly fail - to start a user's session if the newly sourced files contain certain types - of commands. For instance, many commands will cause the login attempt to - fail because they expect an interactive shell, or because you are trying - to "exec" something that cannot provide an X session. For instance, - "exec ksmserver" will launch KDE, but "exec bash" will fail. Thus if you - are unsure why KDM is refusing to start your session, try commenting out - elements of the newly sourced login scripts, and you may find the problem - resolved. - - -- Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org> Thu, 8 Sep 2005 11:13:41 -0400 - -kdebase (4:3.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low - - * Users upgrading from KDE 3.2 might find that their keyboards seem no longer - to work in KDM. This problem is caused by a change in KDE's handling of - virtual terminals. The setting which puts KDM on vt7, which was contained - in /etc/trinity/kdm/Xservers, has changed, and is also now located in - /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc. - - * Users who, when upgrading to KDE 3.3, opted to replace their Xservers file - with the version shipped by the package, but chose to retain their - /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc file, will thus have a KDM configuration which nowhere - contains a setting which properly places KDM on vt7. This can result in a - race condition which has the end effect of breaking the keyboard when using - KDM. - - * The solution to the problem is either to replace both of Xservers and - kdmrc, or neither, when upgrading to KDE 3.3 for the first time. - - * Users already stuck can, after killing KDE, purge and re-install the kdm - package, ensuring that the latest, fresh copies are installed. - Alternatively, they can edit /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc and add the following - line: - - ServerVTs=-7 - - in the [General] section of the file. - - -- Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org> Sun, 23 Jan 2005 16:11:07 +0100 |
