Good to hear.

I suggest you add your solution message on to the original thread with a

Tag added.
However I still have to test with sddm, not done until now because a lot 
of work was backlogged.

Thank you.

With tracing kdm, I managed to get the settings I need. It would have been 
much more intuitive, if I  /etc/default/kdm.d would overwrite all fields in 
kdmrc and not only a subset (which seem to have also a different 
uppercase/lowercase convention(?)).

Here are the notes I took, in case they are useful for somebody else:

Disabling the theme is required to show user list

Re: KDM 4:4.6.3-1 upgrade fails

[Ferdinand Thommes]

Hi,
I cannot confirm this, upgrading from 4.6.2 to 4.6.3 on a unstable system.
Everything went fine on 32 and 64-bit. No errors at all.
Great work, *many thanks* to debian-kde team.

2011/5/27 tv.deb...@googlemail.com tv.deb...@googlemail.com

 Hi everyone, I was thrilled this morning to see KDE 4.6 landing in Sid,
 great !

 When upgrading from Wheezy to the current Sid version I got a
 post-install error leaving kdm in a broken state. Looking into it I
 found that the adduser command from /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm.postinst
 was the culprit, spitting errors about an non existing ID in the 62455
 range (decrementing -1 every new error).
 So I created manually a kdm system user and group with:

 adduser --system --group --no-create-home kdm

 (original postinstall command is without --group)

 and also took care of:

 chown -R kdm /var/lib/kdm

 Then kdm installed fine.

 Now everything works, but did anyone else encounter this error (didn't
 find it in the BTS) ? Is what I did a foolish move and KDE will explode
 in my face at some point ?

Thank you Benjamin Eikel, that'a exactly what I needed to know. For some
strange reason this system doesn't have a nobody group, this is why
kdm upgrade failed. Things are now in better order, no more kdm group,
kdm system user belongs to nobody, and /var/lib/kdm belongs to kdm:root .

Thanks to the kde team, you worked very well, I'm sorry I borked your
nice upgrade ! ;-)

This is solved in KDE 4.5. You can modify it as you want even as a 
normal user, but after clicking Apply, you are prompted for the root 
password.

 I suppose that fixes are on the way, for the moment you can try to
 downgrade hal or boot a 2.6.31.x kernel.

I'm experiencing kdm asking me to log in twice, and I'm running 2.6.30-2 
kernel - an almost entirely testing desktop (pretty much except for kile and 
nvdia drivers from unstable).

But I've not seen kdm offering a new login screen when I shutdown.

Occasionally I got also a login screen which didn't accept any typed input - 
but I haven't seen it for a few days.

Hope this helps someone.  I can find more useful info if you tell me where I 
can find it!

Thanks for your hard work.

Hi,

| has dissappeared.  Instead I have a solid mid blue background.
| 
| my /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc file refers to 
|

| 
| I am keen to understand where it should be located and replace it

I use the testing distribution of Debian, both at work and at home.
It seems that debian-kde_default.png is basically included in the
kdebase-data package, but version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-2, which I use
at work does have it, but version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5, which I use
at home does not.  That means that the latest upgrade (yesterday or
the day before yesterday) eliminated it.

Today when I switched on my home machine, I noticed that the login
background has changed.

By the way, the file is /usr/share/wallpapers/debian-kde_default.png
in my work machine.  If you need it, I could send it to you.
(But, I might upgrade my work machine soon, losing the file.
 So hurry up if you want to ask :-)

Ryo

I also use the framebuffer to get a nice VT and I actually blame the crappy

Try without framebuffer, without DRI and without XVMC support and maybe that

All of your points exactly match mine now that I have corrected the 
problem of a missing background file.  I suspect that kdm is restarting 
X or something when a session ends and it can't find the backgound.

I have noticed exactly the same thing.
It was caused by newly introduced xfree86-common package, which removed

The quickiest solution is to rename /etc/X11/Xsession.xfree86 
to /etc/X11/Xsession.

You indeed mistook something, and shouldn't remove /etc/X11/Xsession.
The last 2 lines of /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession (on my system) read

  # invoke global X session script
  . /etc/X11/Xsession

- it looks like kdm want some extra stuff done in Xsession, but reuses the
   global Xsession stuff
- even if kdm didn't include the above 2 lines you shouldn't
   remove /etc/X11/Xession, as that file would still be used when you start
   X through another means then kdm (e.g. by running startx from the command
   line)

Yes, it is created with every start of X-session (roughly speaking, when you
log in through kdm) and it is full of unimportant stuff. However, when the
problem happens, it is usefull to take a look there, because there are
often quite interesting information -- like that you don't
have /etc/X11/Xsessions. Basically, /var/log/Xorg.*.log is interesting
until the kdm starts, and ~/.xsession-errors since then. The difference is
that starting of X itself is done under root's ownership (and thus logging
goes to the system-wide place -- /var/log), whereas sessions are run under
user's ownership and thus all logs go into $HOME/ .

Does it make sense?

On Thursday 08 December 2005 05:08 am, martin f krafft wrote:
 [please CC me on replies]

Doing so, even though your sig says not to. :)

 I have a sarge machine with KDE 3.3 installed, and for some reason,
 kdm doesn't start anymore. It's properly registered as S99 with
 runlevel 2 (the default), it is the default window manager, and
 a `set -x` in the init script reveals that start-stop-daemon is
 being called properly while the script executes.

 However, when I boot the machine, or change to runlevel 2 (e.g. from
 single user mode), the script says it started the KDE window
 manager, but the machine is left with the /bin/login prompt, and
 neither kdm.log nor XFree86.0.log contain any hint for a problem.
 The screen also does not turn blank or flicker, so it seems as if
 kdm simply doesn't start. It seems that sometimes the machine just
 sits and waits for a keypress, then suddenly starts kdm. However,
 this is not reproducible at will, happens randomly it seems.

Is it possible that it is starting but failing to switch to vt7 for some 
reason?  What happens if you do an Alt+F7 at this point?

If you remove kdm.log / XFree86.0.log before booting the machine, does 
anything get written to them by the kdm init script, or are they not there?

 Curiously, running the init script by hand after the boot works
 alright.

 I've attached a tarball of four strace scripts after putting an
 strace -ff -F in front of the init script start-stop-daemon call for
 kdm. I can't make sense of it, but maybe it helps.

Looks like you forgot to attach it.

kdm.log gets written, but only contains the message about it using
syslog to log via the daemon.* facility, nothing else.

XFree86.0.log does not get written it seems.

Hi all,

Short Story :

I have one computer with 2 users, one usually using kde (3.4.2), the
other another wm/desktop env (Window Maker, or gnome).
It use kdm.
Is there a command that does the same thing than K Menu-Switch
User-Start a new session, so that I can start a new session from
another 'wm' than kde, or switch to an existing other session?

Thanks for any help,
Christophe

Long Story (where I already searched for solutions)

- gdm offers this functionnality, as it is included in the debian menu
by default (start new session, and even start new session in a window!).
- I didn't find any help in the kdm help, google didn't help, kde wiki
neither, and there's no help at all for kdmctl (I feel that it is part
of the solution...)
- There's not an identified entry for that command in the kde menu
manager
- I didn't find any clues in the DCOP manager (no kdm entry in the DCOP
manager)
- Btw, it's possible to switch from one session to another using
Meta-Fxx, but not creating a new one...
- if anybody have the answer here, I will have to learn again how the
debian menu is managed, to add an entry for that...

To conclude, I fell that problem may be a cause for an user to switch
from kdm to gdm, as it's a more easy way to solve the problem... Maybe
that menu entry should be included in the kdm debian package...

 another 'wm' than kde, or switch to an existing other session?
...
 - Btw, it's possible to switch from one session to another using
 Meta-Fxx, but not creating a new one...

You could switch to an unused VT, login, then do...

$ startx /usr/bin/startkde -- :1

or make an alias of it in .bash_profile...

alias kde='startx /usr/bin/startkde -- :1 /dev/null '

...so all you need to do is:

$ kde ENTER

On the subject of KDM, before my latest round of re-installation 
of Sid (trying to make up for the kdelibs4 transition) which I'm 
running now, all of the window managers that I had loaded showed 
up in the KDM menu: twm, olwm, olvwm, kde, gnome, failsafe, etc.

However, now it's not being populated with the other window 
managers, and for the life of me I cannot find where the menu 
list is or where it's defined.

Anyone else having this problem? If it matters, the menu and 
menu-xdg packages are installed, although I don't expect they 
have anything to do with it.

My wife couldn't start 3.4.2 on Kubuntu through KDM due to some bug that

some bug report about it, the bug is almost a year old, but I can't find it 
right now. Logging in worked when she changed her shell to bash.

Hi,

Sorry for the slow response - I've been away from the computer for a little 
while. In the KDE Control Centre, I can set the user's face (in Security 
and Privacy -- Password and User Account), but first you have to tell KDM 
to allow users to set their own faces (by default only administrators can 
do this). You can allow this by going to the KDE Control Centre, under 
System Administration -- Login Manager. Switch to Administrator Mode, then 
go to Users tab. There, in the User Image Source tab, select User (or 
User, admin, I suppose). Then KDM should allow the user to set their own 
face.

Cheers,
Christopher Martin

Searching The Fine Archives at http://lists.debian.org/search.html using

Read the whole thread, as it explains not only how to do it, but also 
why you shouldn't.

n.b.: there is NO reason for ever needing to log in as root, not even

Re: KDM locks me out

[Andrew Schulman]

 After installing KDE 3.4 and KDM 3.4.0-0pre3 specifically, I found to my
 displeasure after restarting that KDM won't let me in. I can't type in
 the password field and after each keypress the widgets in the login
 window are locked. I can access the menu item for restart, but that's
 about all I can do. I noticed, that the only two session types offered
 are default and failsafe, notably no KDE. Without being able to
 type, though, I can't login anyway. Also, I can't switch to another
 virtual console.
 
 To get in, I had to boot in single user mode an disable KDM. Now, I
 don't think this is a bug in KDM, rather some kind of misconfiguration
 on my part. Any ideas what might be causing this behavior?

No, but it is worth a try to wipe KDM's configuration and reinstall.  I
suggest apt-get --purge remove kdm, rm -rf /etc/kde3/kdm (careful here!),
then apt-get install kdm.  Good luck, Andrew.

 /etc/X11/Xsession $1

 Don't know why, but when global Xsession file was sourced,

 When I'm executing global Xsession instead of sourceing it - everything

And indeed, kdm now contains its own internal sessreg routines, so users 
were being registered/unregistered twice.

Question is - how to fix? Disable the internal sessreg, and continue using 
our own? That's the easiest option, since we just have to change an option 
in kdmrc, but if we do it by modifying kdmrc, then users who don't update 
that file will still have the problem. Of course, yanking out our own 
sessreg patches mean that any user that doesn't update Xstartup and Xreset 
will also still be affected.

I'd rather modify one conffile than two, and the fix is simpler, so I'll 
proceed with my first suggestion unless anyone can think of a good reason

  Please re-read the first sentence of this mail:

 I only want to say that KDM 3.4rc1 logs me twice. I mean, when I log on
 and my desktop is launched, if I run users it tells mesometing like:

 rafa rafa

 as if I were logged twice... It is not very important, but I wanted to
 say you because I didn't find any similar trouble into the Internet.

  OK.

 Hi,

 I'm not a member of this list, so if you want to reply me (i'd thank
 you) please do that at this email address.

  Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this in the future. Thanks.

 Now, I've successfully installed KDE 3.4rc1 and KDM does not load. It
 throws an error. I've done a dpkg-reconfigure kdm and set up as
 default gdm, but I want kdm to run, and this problem came up when I
 installed KDE 3.4rc1.

  Known problem, see the debian-kde archives.

 Another thing... KDE 3.4rc1 does not support devices:/, does it? I can't
 mount automatically (only with one click) my usb pen... I don't like
 that neither.

  Use media:/

 hello,
 
 i?m trying to get kdm to NOT activate numlock by default, i tried apt-get
 remove --purge kdm just for fun and still when i reinstall it still
 reactivates numlock.

Does ControlCenter / Peripherals / Keyboard / Numlock on Startup do what
you want ?  A purge and reinstall would not alter that, which is one of
your user's .kde settings.

that setting does work, however it´s applied once my user has logged in,
after kdm..  when in kdm, my user has to use the letter ¨m¨ to log in, on
this keyboard if numlock is activated it´s an arrow button.. . .

Re: kdm docbook docs

[Brian Sammon]

  Looking through the kdm package, it appears that the most substantial
  documentation  is in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kdm and is in docbook
  format. How do I read that documentation?
 
 In konqueror: help:/kdm

Is this the only way of reading the documentation?

Right now, as I understand it:
kdm, which doesn't depend on, recommend, or suggest konqueror, requires 
konqueror to read the docs.
This sounds like I should submit a bug report.

You can use khelpcenter too.

No, there is khelpcenter, as Matías said, however, I can't find it there.

I don't think is a bug. The functionality that the help:/ ioslave provides, is 
in kdelibs, not in konqueror.

 I've started up khelpcenter and poked around in there, but I can't find
 anything about kdm in there.

I can't find it neither, in the Help Center. :-?
