[Bug 377494] New: [kde4-kdm] unable to setup themed greeter
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=377494 Summary: [kde4-kdm] unable to setup themed greeter Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: funtasyspace@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- It's impossible to setup kde4-kdm to use a themed greeter with the current Factory version using KDE4 UNSTABLE (4.0.86). If you run 'kdesu systemsettings' > Login Manager to configure KDM, it seems like your changes are done in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdmrc But there is also another kdm configuration file in /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig, which seems to have precedence over /usr/share/kde4/config/kdmrc. It is not possible to delete or manually modify /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig, because this file seems to be regenerated on every X (re)start. In this file, among others, there's always the option 'UseTheme=false', therefore it doesn't matter what you setup in KDE4's System Settings. I believe, that the existence of /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig is also the reason for the following error messages which are always displayed on console 10 (and in /var/log/messages): kdm_config[5364]: Unrecognized key 'NoPassAllUsers' in section [X-:0-Core] at /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig:12 kdm_config[5364]: Multiple occurrences of key 'Language' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc kdm_config[5364]: Multiple occurrences of key 'ShowUsers' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc kdm_config[5364]: Multiple occurrences of key 'UseBackground' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc kdm_config[5364]: Multiple occurrences of key 'UseTheme' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc kdm_config[5364]: Multiple occurrences of key 'AllowShutdown' in section [X-:*-Core] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc kdm_config[5364]: Multiple occurrences of key 'AutoLoginEnable' in section [X-:0-Core] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc So the questions are: 1. What is /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig used for? Isn't just one KDM config file (/usr/share/kde4/config/kdmrc) sufficient? 2. If we really need /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig, how can the user make changes to it? 3. If we really need /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig, how can changes that are done via System Settings > Login Manager be automatically written to this file too and not only to /usr/share/kde4/config/kdmrc? -- 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.
