With all the stuff that got updated with today's release of Plasma ver 5.5.4, sddm is now broken. I get a blank screen on tty7, and nothing will get the login screen to come up. Kdm however is working fine (otherwise I wouldn't be writing this message). Can you paste the contents of your
/etc/sddm.conf /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
? OK, I have been through this so many times, I have lost count. Here is what I would like sddm.conf to look like:
# cat /etc/sddm.conf.save [Theme] Current=breeze CursorTheme=breeze_cursors [XDisplay] ServerPath=/usr/bin/X SessionCommand=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession DisplayCommand=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup MinimumVT=7 [Users] MinimumUid=0 MaximumUid=65000 HideShells=/bin/false,/sbin/nologin,/usr/sbin/nologin HideUsers=at,bin,daemon,ftp,games,lp,man,news,nobody,uucp Every time I fire up runlevel 5, however, this (or similar garbage) is what I get in those last two lines: [Users] HideShells=/bin/false,/sbin/nologin,텨罬 @ HideUsers=at,bin,!氰,,罬▒,,,媰Ȥ,虸텨罬虸텨, Everything else is left intact, unless I put the XDisplay section below the Users section -- then it is corrupted too. I have tried re-ordering everything, I have tried lowering the MaximumUid, I have rebooted until I am blue in the face, and I have changed between runlevels 3 and 5 on the command line so many times, just to edit the damn file, that I have almost forgotten what a desktop environment looks like. I even tried putting the hidden shells on two lines: HideShells=HideShells=/bin/false,/sbin/nologin HideShells=/usr/sbin/nologin That just left me with two instances of "HideShells=/usr/sbin/nologin" I cannot even boot into runlevel 3: at the grub prompt, every time I type on the keyboard, the text entry panel disappears and I am left with the list of boot options. Do I have to change the default runlevel just to do this? Perhaps what I should be asking instead is, "Is there any point to all of this?" :'( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
