On 2014-02-24 22:34 (GMT+0100) Guido Berhoerster composed: gfxchip. Using FBDEV, the greeter comes up, bug there is no icon to indicate clicking on IceWM would allow me to select KDE. The box above it only says password, so there's no way to select a user. This absence is understandable, because initially there was only the root user available on this test installation ATM (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833253 ). However:
1-nothing happens as a result of clicking or <enter> after typing the root password 2-each "*" resulting from typing password characters looks like it is done in 3pt (mouse)type 3-all text on the screen is too small, cumulatively taking up maybe 0.5% of total screen space at most
In short, KDE is currently unreachable via lightdm, so far.
That has actually nothing to do with lightdm but with the lightdm-kde-greeter. I don't maintain that so I can't help you there, it's probably best to file a bug against it.
# man lightdm.conf No manual entry for lightdm.conf # man users.conf No manual entry for users.conf
Every option in these files is documented with a comment. You should not modify these files if you don't know what you're doing and in 99% of all use-cases you should not have to either, those settings which might need to be changed (autologin user, passwordless login) can be set in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager.
# dm-tool <cnf response>
Then you don't have /usr/bin in your path, in Factory it even has a manpage.
# cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter cat: /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter: no such file or directory
It's /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf but you shouldn't edit that manually, the KDE greeter in configured in the KDE System Settings.
I changed minimum-uid in users.conf from 1000 to 0, added my usual complement of users (>5), then restarted the DM, and rebooted. Now the first user image is in the center of the screen, the 5th is half off screen, and the one I actually want is not visible.
Looking at lightdm.conf and users.conf it isn't obvious how to do with lightdm much of what I set to do or not do in kdmrc: AllowNullPasswd=true AllowRootLogin=true AntiAliasing=true ConsoleTTYs=tty1,tty2,tty3,tty4,tty5,tty6 FocusPasswd=true HiddenUsers= LogoArea=Clock NoPassAllUsers=true NoPassEnable=true NoPassUsers=* NumLock=On PreselectUser=Previous ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3 SelectedUsers=root,one,two,three,four ServerVTs=-7 ShowUsers=Selected SortUsers=true TerminateServer=true Theme= UserCompletion=true UserList=true UseTheme=false FailFont=Sans Serif,13,5,0,75,0 GreetFont=Sans Serif,24,5,0,50,0 StdFont=Sans Serif,12,5,0,50,0
In addition to getting it to behave as KDM can, I'd like to eradicate Suspend and Hibernate from the greeter, as most of my installations are on multiboot test desktops, where both are effectively taboo and never used. Google has been minimal help finding me useful docs on lightdm configuration, particularly poor on opensuse.org. :-(
Can't help with that but you should look for lightdm-kde-greeter, don't conflate it with lightdm which is basically just a daemon running in the background. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
