Description Antonio Ibáñez 2013-03-12 20:24:14 CET

Description of problem:
I installed steam with 'urpmi steam' and after that, I uninstalled it with 'urpme steam' and 'urpme --auto-orphans'. 
Then, when I boot my PC I have to startx manually because kdm doesn't work.

Even I have unistalled and installed kdm again, but doesn't work.


Reproducible:

/var/log/kdm.log returns:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

Warning: Compat map for group 3 redifined
         Using new definition

Warning: Compat map for group 4 redifined
         Using new definition

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X sever

Could not reproduce on Mageia 3 stable. Most likely you hit another issue unrelated to Steam, making that you had a vital package for KDM marked as an orphan (prior to removing Steam).

Closing as invalid.
