What I did this morning was
1) installing latest updates (via apper-plasmoid) 2) log out of KDE 3) log in to console 4) sudo zypper ps, which listed kdm 5) sudo systemctl restart xdm.service
Is KDM at this moment still working ? If yes, then why would restart it ? Just because zypper ps shows that the kdm package was updated through zypper ? KDM is one of the KDE Applications that wasn't touched for quite a long time and the packages were just rebuild due to the 4.14 update which caused dependent packages to be rebuild. So if KDM is still working, then I wouldn't bother too much in trying to get it restarted. With a bigger KDE update, it is more important that you logoff and login again to at least ensure you are using the latest libraries, etc. For KDM (which is in LTS mode), this doesn't really apply. As you indicated you are still on openSUSE 12.3, which had one of the first systemd implementations and I know that quite some improvements were made with 13.1. As far as I remember the display-manager service was also introduce only with 13.1 Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
