I noticed this error (seems harmless):- 2013-04-04T09:10:42.246356+01:00 linux-1b0m kdm_greet[2272]: Cannot load /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory
HA! I don't get that error.
The greeter has the ability to display a face as part of the visual login. There's just me at this workstation so it looks in /home/anton/.face and finds a small jpeg. This is a 'real' face so there is no need to go look for the default.
I agree with you but the file should still exist if its not referenced. Its like the .skel folder with spurious config files in it like "mutt". It's just fine tuning of the base system that adds to the professionalism of the distro
In /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc there is a section about where to find the face images. My 12.2 system says
<quote> # Specify, where the users' pictures should be taken from. # "AdminOnly" - from <FaceDir>/$USER.face[.icon] # "PreferAdmin" - prefer <FaceDir>, fallback on $HOME # "PreferUser" - ... and the other way round # "UserOnly" - from the user's $HOME/.face[.icon] # Default is AdminOnly # FaceSource=AdminOnly FaceSource=PreferUser # The directory containing the user images if FaceSource is not UserOnly. # Default is "/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/faces" #FaceDir=/usr/share/faces </quote>
Apart form the above, where came i find errors displayed on a text screen that get displayed between grub and kdm? I think i can see the word "deprecated" in teh text but i'm not sure.
Have you tried grepping (recursively) all of /var/log? Not that it would help with a systemd implementation :-) aha, i'm on 12.3 so i think systemd is being used
All that happens between grub and the kernel as the 'boot messages' which are hidden by the splash screen. I disable that and see them, but yes they scroll by fast.
See systemd-journalctl for other stuff. i'll try that
