Hi,

debian squeeze is host, Suse11.2 is running als vserver. Other clients in
the LAN make XDMCP on Suse 11.2. KDM starts, I can type name and password,
but the the xmessage "Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?" appears and
I'm back in KDM.

I've set up in Suse-Yast, that XDM not starts X11, X11 should not
run in the vserver, only KDM. X is taken from the clients.
Clients are Suse, Debian with XFCE, Xming under Windows, etc.

# cat /home/<user>/.xsession-errors-rex4.local\:1
xset: bad font path element (#23), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax
startkde: Starting up...
Failed to start message bus: Failed to bind socket
"/tmp/dbus-9cOQPWPuu6": Address already in use
EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
startkde: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?

These error messages are wrong, 'StaticServers' etc. does not occur multiple
in kdmrc. kdmrc is untouched.

# init 5
init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory

so I did mkfifo /dev/initctl , the /dev/initctl seems so rest
permanently, even after a reboot. But runlevel 5 is not reached.
BTW: I don't need runlevel 5, the links of kdm/xdm and dbus in rc5.d are
now copied to rc3.d.

The qt-dbus seems to the sticking point, it does'nt start:

suse112:/ # /usr/bin/qdbus
Could not connect to D-Bus server:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: /bin/dbus-launch terminated
abnormally with the
following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

Does qdbus want to start X11? - I configured in yast that KDM should not
start X11. Where can I check whether yast did it correctly?

Who can help?
