Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdm

issueing

     ssh server sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart

Only *stops* the kdm - never start because of unneccessary terminal requirements: Error reported is

sehe@sehe-laptop:~$ ssh server sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
Stopping K Display Manager: kdm.
'unknown': unknown terminal type.

Typical workaround:

sehe@sehe-laptop:~$ ssh server -t sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
Stopping K Display Manager: kdm not running (/var/run/kdm.pid not found).
Starting K Display Manager: kdm.
Connection to server closed.

The init scripts should never require console terminals, especially not a-symmetrical (allow stop *and* start, or allow none)

Good morning,

I am wondering if you are still having problems with the kdm init-script prevent restart? Could you please update the status of this bug? If you are still having issues, please include the version of Kubuntu and the version of KDE you are using.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Nope no longer an issue. Seems something fixed it in Hardy :)

I don't see a better match. It should be 'closed' really, because no fix has been committed/released specificly for this item. However, there has been a long enough wait so that the original problem simply went away :)
