1. KDM does not work. The greeter fails.
Discussed on opensuse-kde list more than once.
So I see, googling to find the archives. I'm not ready to subscribe to every application-list -- that would be overwhelming, so I'm grateful to the people on *this* list who specialize
Up to you. Resources are thin. KDE experts subscribed there don't seem to pay as diligent attention here.
KDE remains the default session type on a fresh KDE installation, but
KDE is no longer a valid session type. O_O
You must select Plasma as a session type if you want a KDE DTE. :-p
I'm not sure what you are getting at here? Is this KDM or systemsettings where its Plasma or plasma-notebook?
At the greeter.
It was suggested that /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager's DEFAULT_WM= plays a part in this insanity.
Well that's confusing. Some people seem to find 'startkde' (which is what I had) works, others didn't and used 'kde4'. I tried both and neither worked.
However this is all moot now. I was using 'startx' but something I did while trying to fix the above and the T'bird/FF menu delay problem has hosed X11. I now get
/etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started. sourcing /etc/sysconfig/language to get the value of INPUT_METHOD INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method) Trying to start an input method for the locale en.US-UTF-8 ... There is no input method for the current locale. Dummy input method "none" (do not use any fancy input method by default) xinit: connection to X server lost
This has me completely flummoxed. What now?
Get KDM to work for now, as it doesn't seem to have that problem. I ran into this mere days ago and so far haven't figured out any other solution that I can recall ATM. I was thinking /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-* may have something to do with it, but never followed through. You might want to ensure Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev pointer catchall" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection exists either somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ or in xorg.conf. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
