Bug#357127: kdm greeter does not show list of users
Package: kdm
Version: 3.3.2-1sarge1
Severity: minor
The Greeter of kdm should show a list of users who may log in.
It did not do so for me, I attach a copy of the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as
it was. (It is now called kdmrc.bu .)
The sub-window which should have shown user names (and possibly some pictures)
was empty, and narrow.
I tried using
$ man kdm
but that did not work.
I tried installing doc-linux-html (version 2005.04-1), that did not help
either.
So I changed two lines in the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as folllows:
change from:
SelectedUsers=
ShowUsers=NotHidden
to :
SelectedUsers=rb,guest
ShowUsers=Selected
.
This works alright, but now I have to alter the file kdmrc whenever I add a
new user.
Best regards
Richard Betham
