[opensuse] KDE updates change shutdown permissions
It's been three times now that an update to some KDE packages has changed the line DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="all" to DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="root" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. This makes the system display a prompt for the root password every time I want to shutdown. I don't know exactly which package is to blame. Updates were performed via zen-updater. Any ideas on what could be causing this? If not, then on the next KDE update I'll try updating the packages one by one.

You have something askew, I have updated kde in 10.1 at least three time and more likely 5 or 6 times without the DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN setting changing from "auto". -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

To be fair, the first time I had no idea what had happened, except that all of a sudden I couldn't shutdown without the root password. I have no idea what that was initially set to (I had installed a fresh 10.1). After googling a bit I found out about the setting and changed it from "root" to "all". The two subsequent times I noticed it happened right after a KDE update - the last time being earlier today. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This comes from the aaa_base package. /var/adm/fillup-template/sysconfig.displaymanager. Its always difficult to find a good default, some want the user to be able to shutdown, others wont. It should not get overwritten on update however. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Mine changed, too, after updating KDE yesterday. And this was not the first time it happened.

Can't it be merged into the permissions choice, (paranoid/easy/etc)? It would seem that would be a more logical place. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
