My only issue is that the autologin option that I enabled for my wife is not working anymore. When KDE starts up we get a message saying that the authentication failed. Then when I manually login (on the same account), everything works fine...
That's an acknowledged bug, and one I've encountered too. Apparently it resulted from some miscommunication between the KDE people and the pam people. But there's a fix: 1. As root, look in the directory /etc/pam.d for files named "kde", "xdm", or "kdm". 2. Assuming you find the file "kde", do the following: cd /etc/pam.d (echo "auth sufficient pam_permit.so"; cat kde) > kde-np If instead you find "xdm" or "kdm", replace "kde" by one of those in two places in the second line above. For more details, go to: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68331 I've been leaning on others here so often for help that I'm always grateful for the opportunity to help someone else. Thanks!
