Issues with custom rpms, SuSEconfig and kdm
Hello List! I have some trouble with SuSEconfig and kdm. In the xml file I define a certain value for KDM_BACKGROUND and KDM_GREETSTRING in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. But after finishing the autoinstall process and booting into runlevel 5 I still see the SuSE background. When I run SuSEconfig manually at least the value for background picture is written to /etc/kde3/(...)/kdmrc. The greetstring is still not changed :-( As I want to add some custom rpms with pics and scripts, I use the <extra_packages> tag in the xml file. It's quite confusing that you have to write the full rpm name without .rpm suffix. Suppressing known suffixes reminds me of another "famous" OS :-) The name of the package is backgrounds-0.0.1-1.rpm so I would assume that yast2 is smart enough to find the package if it's named just "backgrounds" in the xml file or wants to have a real full name of that package. Will It soon be possible to add users with a certain uid and gid? I'm able to add a bunch of users with a postinstall-script, but it would be nicer, if they were added from config file. Maybe even home directory or shell can be set in the xml file...

I have to reproduce this problem first....

Ok, We will be looking into making it look better :-)

It is already possible, consider the following... <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <user_password>DmU</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <user_password>xxxxxxxxxxx</user_password> <username>nashif</username> </user> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <user_password>s1hQUGh3MTr8s</user_password> <username>blah</username> <shell>/bin/csh</shell> <gid>1000</gid> <grouplist>dialout,uucp,video,audio</grouplist> <home>/fancy/home/blah</home> <uid>1000</uid> </user> </users> http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/autoyast2/profile.elem.user.html
