Hello!
Some time has passed. Before i wrote, that i tryed the workaround in comment
12.
In the meantime i upgraded to SuSE 11.4 x86_64.
I added KDE repos for kde 4.7 and so on. Now i ran into problems with:
kdm-branding-openSUSE-11.4-3.2.x86_64
kde4-kgreeter-plugins-4.7.1-5.3.x86_64
kdm-4.7.1-5.3.x86_64
Everytime i execute genkdmrc this var gets set in the shown way:
GreeterUID=kdm
This leads to that my kdm cant start. It throws the following error in kdm.log:
kdmgreet: cannot connect to X server :0
I guess this could consist of:
- I dont know if SuSE "pam" is compiled with KDE support
- It could be related to missing Xauth file structure like it might exist on
different distros?
- The lines, that i read in comment 6 that SuSE is different to other distros.
So the Solution for me is:
I had to remove the User and Group "kdm" from comment 12.
After i did that, i ran genkdmrc twice.
Now genkdmrc throws this Warning again:
Warning: Do not know how to create missing GreeterUID user kdm
But! Luckily this value in kdmrc itselves gets set in this way:
#GreeterUID=kdm
The scriptlet quotes it out. So kdm will start as root (by default). And it is
back up and running again.
Many thanks for your Help!
Greetings,
R
