I configure Login Manager as follows: disable theme greeting, show clock, use specific background image with scaling. The settings is kept until next update. After update theme greeting is still disabled, but default image is used in background and Logo is shown instead of clock. I could see that files backgroundrc and kdrmrc in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm are changed and the values from previous versions are forgotten (they exists in bak files though) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure Login Manager using Personal Settings as described in Details 2. Verify Login screen looks correctly. 3. Wait for some updates and perform update. 4. Verify that Login screen has changed to default image and Logo. Actual Results: Parameters in backgroundrc and kdmrc are not preserved Expected Results: Parameters shall be preserved upon update. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In short: I can't check it now since I do not have 11.2/KDE4 right now). I gave up and reverted to 11.1/KDE3 (not just because of this issue, but the whole lot of annoying things). More information. While I was still trying to work with 11.2/KDE4 I did the following: 1) Upgraded to KDE4.4 (somewhere in January) and found out that it happens in KDE4.4 as well. 2) I thought that maybe it is some simple issue with post-install script and tried looking into it. It turned out that in both KDE4 and KDE3, when kdm is installed, the script calls genkdmconf executable. I tried comparing the sources (genkdmconf.c) from KDE3 (3.5.9-65.2) and KDE4.4 (4.4.0-415.1) - it was the end of February. I've seen that there are differences, but was not able to quickly figure out how it works (and had no time to dig deeper into it). A couple of weeks ago I removed 11.2/KDE4 altogether (I'm still planning to re-install it after I'll play enough with Kubuntu 10.4). It's a pity it took 5 month before somebody looked into this report. Otherwise I would like to help as much as I can. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 267903 ***

Stephen, Are you sure? I've checked the bug 267903 before I filed this one. It looks very different. Here the contents of the files backgroundrc and kdrmrc in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm is changed after update. The parameters (background image and logo) present only in these files and not in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I changed the definitions as before and waiting... Probably I can do "forced" re-install of KDM to check whether the issue has gone or not? What do you think, if I'll select KDM in Yast and check "update" or just use rpm --force, will it do the job?

About which KDE release are we talking here ? Only as of the KDE version delivered with openSUSE 13.1, it would be possible to configure KDM with the standard KDE systemsettings. Version before this, would take their configuration from the displaysettings within YaST or SuSEconfig.

The version I checked it with is kdm version 4.10.5 on openSUSE 12.3. Not sure what you mean by "possibility to configure KDM with the standard KDE systemsettings"? I'm doing this same type of configuration for .. do not remember how long, at least long before KDE4 got introduced. I first cancel openSUSE theme (by editing /etc/sysconfig (DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME in displaymanager file) and then configure desktop -> login screen -> uncheck "use themed greeter" and then chose my background. The problem is that after KDM update the confguration got lost. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
