RE: [SLE] Login screen pics

on the SGI it's possible to change the login icon so you can put a

Is it also possible to change the SuSE logo to put our company's logo picture??
For both questions: in which format must be the pics? height? lenght?
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Can anyone tell me if there is a command to force a re-scan of the SCSI bus to identify devices switched on after boot-up (it is a document scanner in my case, which is not often needed so is usually switched off).
There is a way to instruct the kernel to add or remove scsi devices during runtime. It's in /usr/src/linux/scsi/scsi.c (search for the word CAUTION :) ) (and there's mention of this on CD_Writing-HOWTO) you make: $ echo scsi add-single-device Host Channel Id Lun > /proc/scsi/scsi to add one device, and $ echo scsi remove-single-device Host Channel Id Lun > /proc/scsi/scsi o, if your scanner is in your second controller, with id 6, it could be: $ echo scsi add-single-device 1 0 6 0 < /proc/scsi/scsi it's not an auto-rescan, but if you know what devices are attached to the scsi busses, it works :) Regards, Adilson Ribeiro -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hi Kester, How does it work in the end?? I tried it the hard way by copying the logo of kcalc to /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/brauki.xpm. And voila - instead of the original picture I saw the kcalc logo. Next I tried a picture of me as xpm and copied it to the location. Of course it did *not* work. I tried your suggestion. There seem to be a bunch of directorys with xpm's. They do not show anything the above mentioned path, but there are pics in there. It seems even worse: If I change the contence of a directory by copying further files into, the pics disappear for the entire directory from the selection menue. ;-( There is something weird.

it's possible to do this with kdm, don't know about gdm
For both questions: in which format must be the pics? height? lenght?
create a xpm 64x64, put it under the directory /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/pics/users with the username as filename and it show the pics next time you execute kdm. so a filename martinm.xpm would match user martinm. But of course it depends on the configuration of kdm, you could have instructed it to ignore certain users... so the pic does not show :) maybe gdm uses a similar method Regards, Adilson -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
