Re: [gentoo-user] kde new user login icons missing
I note that on my system the range for UIDs that won't show up is UID 1000 and UID 65000. If your users had a UID inside of that range it might show up... I'm not sure b/c on my system they are w/i that range and I don't see an icon for them, but they can key in their credentials to authenticate.

In the KDE Control Center, System Administration, Login Manager, Administrator Mode, Users tab, there is a big list with checkboxes for all the users. What is kinda counter-intuitive is that this is not the list of users *shown* in KDM, but the users who will be hidden if their checkbox is checked. So if you perhaps checked these users in an attempt to unhide them, you have in fact hidden them from the KDM screen, afaik, not being a KDM user under any circumstances, but I do have a minimal KDE installed, and I've looked at the Control Center a number of times (I did try KDM once or twice). I'd also suggest checking whether icons and the like are properly set (on the same tab). Anyway, hth, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] kde new user login icons missing
Holly, Thanks for the input. The interesting part is there are no users listed. It's almost as though KDE cannot see my users (hidden or otherwise). I'll continue looking.

I got it changing the selection to 500 and have the inverse selection checkbox ticked did the trick. Though it makes me wander, when I created the new user using the KDE user manager it defaults to 500, 5001 etc. But I think when creating the user using the command line the UID will be 1000, 1001 etc isn't it? -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
