[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.11 RC1
Since upgrading to 4.11 I get as a login screen a plain grey screen with a rectangle in the central which shows "Welcome to linux-67gf.site and with a line where I am to enter the person's name who is logging on; after I enter the name and press ENTER the line where the password has to entered appears. There are no other options available - like selecting which desktop I want or whether I want to exit or reboot. At the same time there is a pale yellow box in the bottom left of the screen which, in part, states, "[kernel something]...[37.404954] NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported." After entering the login name and password the normal splash screen appears (the one with the gecko sitting on the branch) and I arrive at the normal desktop. BUT even here there is this pale yellow rectangle in bottom left corner which I have to dismiss by clicking on the "x" within the box. What do I need to check, please, in order to get the normal login graphics back again - the login screen which comes with 12.3?

That's the fallback DM, meaning KDM is not starting. Maybe the upgrade changed DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager? Did you reboot after the upgrade?

I always reboot even if there is no message stating that there are some running files which need to be restarted.

Do you mean kdm? If you do it is not even installed.

Basil, Please install kscreen from Factory to ensure the KDE session will start. However what do you mean with kdm is not installed ? Which displaymanager are you using instead of kdm ?

BC Basil,
Please install kscreen from Factory to ensure the KDE session will start.
I started the computer a few minutes ago to begin the daily "grind" (:-) ) and zypper showed that there were quite a number of updates to install. After the installation and rebooting the system I found that kscreen got installed by this lot of updtates - BUT I still had the same bland login screen as in my initial post. I must have a KDE session as Desktop Effects etc all work as normal.
However what do you mean with kdm is not installed ? Which displaymanager are you using instead of kdm ?
To be honest I really don't know! kdm is definitely NOT installed but it must have been when I first installed 12.3 and later KDE 4.10.05 because I had no hassles before I did the upgrade to 4.11 in Factory. The 'dup --from..' must have removed kdm but did not replace it with the new version for 4.11. (I also checked in my 12.2 installation and kdm is installed there.) Will now try and install kdm and see what happens.

Hmmm, neither krandr nor kscreen are installed and as far as I know were not installed even before I did the upgrade to 4.11.

Well, kscreen was installed when I did an update earlier today but it did nothing to get that login screen back again. However, I then installed kdm and now have the missing login screen back again.
