[opensuse] OS 12.1: KDM first login always fails
Hi, I just installed OS 12.1. everytime I boot into KDM and try to access my account the login fails. I type my password, press enter and the background of the login and password field turns light red for a few seconds. The password is cleared, I enter my password again and I can get in.

Yes. Something with keyboard entry. If you closely watch as you type you will see that the second letter is not accepted unless you wait a couple of seconds first or type your password slowly. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm. Sounds like another regression. I recall that problem with one upgrade to KDM in 11.4. It was one of those things that I just accommodated because I thought I had fat-finger-problems and typed more slowly. A lot of problems I'm never sure are bugs because I always wonder if its me that's the real problem, my understanding, my actions ... and very often it is, or must have been, because changing makes the problem go away. Heck, using Linux made a lot of the problems I had with Windows go away! -- People who love sausages, respect the law, and work with IT standards shouldn't watch any of them being made. -- Peter Gutmann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have seen this, also. I thought it was a querky laptop problem (am not a laptop user) and drove on. Thanks for the enlightment.

It's a known bug, you need to type the second letter in your password twice but only the first login after any restart of kdm. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah. I know the feeling. You sometimes think it's just you having the problem! It's driving us crazy here too. Everyone gets to three 'blobs' when typing in their password and then kdm will accept no more. But you don't look at the screen and you don't know it's not accepting the characters you type so you hit 'Enter'. The fields go pink and you have to re-enter your password. Ahhggh! Can't spend much time but I can't find a bug for this. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Then you have to track it in the Novell bugzilla. Including a reference to the KDE bug tracker. As usual report the bugzilla.novell.com (bnc) ID here too. But save your time if this isn't easy to reproduce. Cause without a description how to run into the issue you'll get no attention. I had the feeling in the past to run into this issue too. Luckily I got the impression this isn't longer the case. On the other hand I simply might got much slower. ;) Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

It's the second letter of the password it stops at here. After the first letter is entered the cursor disappears. It takes around 3 seconds to reappear. Is that the bug you see?

Do you get your users via network nis, ldap whatever? Could be that kdm pops up before all users are available. So maybe login fails because you try too early rather because it's the first try. You could check whether your problem also happens if you don't start services in parallel. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have the same issue. Simple local authentication. System is ready, I would think, as it happens for every login, not just the first one after boot.

No. This is a known problem. The second character is not accepted unless you wait a couple of seconds after typing the first one.

On bugzilla I've read that first login fails for non-root only. Is this still the case?
