[opensuse-factory] kdmrc - can't find it
I just ftp installed factory with KDE. /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm does not exist. Searching the /etc tree came up empty. Where is kdmrc hiding out? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

AFAIK coolo patched kdm so that /etc/..kdmrc is obsolete now. Only the kdmrc in /opt/kde3/.. is used from now on. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I had two questions though: a) why did you look for kdmrc to begin with b) would you have read a README in /etc/opt... before posting here? :) Greetings, Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Why? :-( Isn't /etc designed/intended for systemwide config files?

1-Before I ever reach runlevel 5 the first time I fix all the broken defaults, after backing them up, which there is no provision to do with kcontrol. 2-It's a lot easier and faster than finding all that need changing scattered all about kcontrol.

Could be. I use mc (which by the way was not in the default KDE install) for all file maintenance operations, and would at least have seen it on the way to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Unlike the initial kdmrc file, it doesn't include commenting that tells me how and whether I can change what I want to change. See list below for what I changed manually.
