Re: [gentoo-user] Strangeness with KDE 3.4
ok, theres an update...the users where hidden because the option to hide them was enabled. I disabled that and see my users in a list.My users were not selected, so I selected them, and turned off the option that say invert selection. ...still no good. I read in the source that nobody is used when building the list of users, so I checked to ensure that nobody is there (smile) an it sure enough is. It had a UID 65000, so I changed it to 400, and GID to 400, but that didn't help... I'll keep playing with it to see what happens...I suspect that struct passwd ps; (i forget if it is a ptr to the struct or what) is not getting filled with the list of users (unless I'm reading the src wrong, which would be the cause since only looked at it for a few minutes)... I wonder if that is the case, and if so, why that would be the case.

Thanks Willie.

Re: [gentoo-user] Strangeness with KDE 3.4
Thanks Holly. The user can login from the console. The user's icon doesn't show in the list of users. Come to think of it, neither does my user show in the list. I can key in my username and password to authenticate, so I suspect (that since the other user can login from the console) she'll be able to do likewise I guess the correct question to have asked is why won't my user's show up in the list of users?

Re: [gentoo-user] Strangeness with KDE 3.4
with regard to the problem with sound... Not only does xmms not play music (and throws an error), but mplayer doesn't play any sound. It will open a movie file and play it, but no sound is playing. It seems as though their is some global setting that isn't right, or that something is going on with the driver.On 1/12/06, Shawn Singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Thanks Holly.

Run `kuser` and look what UID has the user that is not getting visible into logging window. Typically when you create another user it will get a lower UID. (You'll later understand). Go to `kcontrol`, `System admin` (or something similar, I've got it in Spanish), and `Access admin`. Go to tab `Users`. See in `System UIDs` if your user UID is UNDER or GREATER that those numbers, it won't be shown on login window. Just change those numbers and you're set.
