Thanks Dave, I had to make the link the other way (hope that won't break anything else) to get it to work (when I did it your way, I just got a blank X window with a tiny console window on it for some reason), and its working just great now. Thanks again. Peter. On Sun, 2002-09-29 at 22:37, Dave Barton wrote:

Hi folks,

I've just installed 3.0.3 on my Suse 8 system (using rpm & -nodeps) from the KDE site and it is all running quite nicely except for the fact that all the users are showing up on the login screen.

I can change the icon for the users, but thats about it. I can't get it to not show the other users (even if I move them all into the ignore dialog box) and can't even turn off the graphical login.

Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks.

Peter.

Hi Peter,

I had the same problem. It sems to be a known condition. The following is a copy of the solution posted to the list, which resolved the problem for me:

<Q> Usually, problems like these are because the control centre works on one config file and kdm actually uses another. The symlink between the two are broken in the upgrade.

Check that /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc actually is a symlink to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. if it isn't, create it with

ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

In the /etc/opt/kd[...] directory it's a possibility (it happened to me) that rpm will have moved kdmrc to kdmrc.rpmsave. If that's the case, just rename it to kdmrc before you create the symlink.

regards Anders </Q>
