Yesterday I installed 11.2 on my machine, and I don't succeed to login to my useraccount under X. It prompts for the user, and when I enter the name, and subsequently the password, the system goes away for 1 or two seconds after hitting enter, and then comes back with the login screen. When I enter the name again, and thereafter password, the same happens again. No error- message, just comes back like if nothing happened. No error with the password: if I enter a different password, it gives a "wrong password"-message. On a console (under eg. alt-ctl-F2)I can login without a problem. But not under KDE. Can't find a message in /var/log/messages, the only log I can imagine as a place for error-messages. Or does a different log give better indications?
to me the same thing happened when, after some upgrades, desktop effects weren't working anymore. the user account that had effects enabled would react just like that, i.e., revert to the KDE login after a couple seconds.
at that time i fixed it by manually editing kwinrc in ~/.kde4/share/config, setting "enabled" to false under the [Compositing] heading.

Thank you for your promising hint, which I tried immediately. However, my kwinrc did not show many parameters, hardly any in fact: my .kde4/share/config/kwinrc [$Version] update_info=kwin.upd:kde3.0r1,kwin.upd:kde3.2Xinerama,kwin3_plugin.upd:kde3.2,kwin_focus2.upd:kwin_focus2,kwin_focus1.upd: kwin_focus1,kwin_on_off.upd:kwin_on_off [Desktops] Name_1= Name_2= Name_3= Name_4= Number=4 it's properties: ls /mnt/b5/juk4/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc -l -rw------- 1 julien users 226 May 31 10:28 This way it looked when I watched id after logging in as julien under kde3.5. But when logging in to my kde4 user juk4 on suse 11.2, and subsequently logging in under a console, the properties were identical. So appearantly the options in the file don't change (no new options are presented) under 11.2 Could this be seen as a 11.2-error? -- Julien Michielsen julien_at_michkloo.xs4all.nl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
