Version: ��� (using KDE 3.3.2, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-5) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-2-686 Currently I'm using Debian Sarge with ru_RU.KOI8-R KOI8-R locales settings. The user's faces won't appear in the KDM. Only a thin bar is visible which has no place even for the user's names. This bug present not only in Debian, however for example in Mandrake it' not present and the faces are visible.
have you tried to re-configure the face assignments with the control center? if this does not work, how is the FaceDir setting in kdmrc? does it work better if you purge the kdm package with all the config files and re-install it?
I've tried every possible settings in kdmrc (admin, admin-user, user-admin, user), but there is still no faces. My kdmrc file does not include a any FaceDir settings (this by default, because I've not edited this file manually). But I can choose faces in Kcontrol, so kdm must know where to find them. As I know there is only two distributions which are able to show faces - SuSE (configurable in Kcontrol without any problems; well it's true about suse 9.1 with kde 3.2 because I have not tried newer versions) and Mandrake (configurable within drakconf, kde 3.3). Maybe they use some patches? Any other disributions I've tried (for example Slackware 10.1) fails to show faces in kdm. When I have started kdm for the first time there was a place for the users name, since I was able to see the name of my default user, but after changing some settings in Kcontrol (theme, autologin, locale, faces) even the names became invisible and there is a place maximum for one letter in the place where the names and/or faces should be. Since I was able to set up faces in other distributions (described above) without any problems, I doubt that it's my fault. ------- Original message ------- From: Oswald Buddenhagen <ossi@kde.org> To: mekoc@inbox.ru Subject: [Bug 108257] User's faces and names in KDM Date: 4 Июль 2005 09:14 [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
does /var/log/kdm.log say anything about being unable to load images/pixmaps? does kdm show any logo when configured to do so? yes, suse's kdm is heavily patched in this area.
The text below is from my /var/log/kdm.log file. I've deleted all the previous content of this file then restarted X. Faces enabled in Kcontrol. Yes. KDM show a logo, clock, etc. without any problems. Only the left side of the greeting window seems have a non-correct size and therefore have no place for faces. I've find only one line in /var/log/syslog: Jul 4 09:39:13 localhost kdm_greet[4193]: Can't open default user face. But there was only one log of that kind. Currently kdm set to "admin-user faces" mode. /var/log/kdm.log: XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 20050601051219 fabbione@fabbione.net) Release Date: 15 August 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.29-pre2 i686 [ELF] Build Date: 01 June 2005 This version of XFree86 has been extensively modified by the Debian Project, and is not supported by the XFree86 Project, Inc., in any way.

If I reset the kdmrc settings with genkdmconf the user's faces become visible, but after change some settings in Kcontrol's kdm module the faces disappear. Looks like the gui tool do something wrong with the configuration.
And there is no matter what changes I try to apply in that case in Kcontrol module (autologin, guistyle, etc.) the faces just disappear. ------- Original message ------- From: Serja <mekoc@inbox.ru> To: mekoc@inbox.ru Subject: [Bug 108257] User's faces and names in KDM Date: 28 Июль 2005 07:21 [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
mind creating a diff -u between the two files? but please grep -v '^#' the one from genkdmconf first.
no reply == no bug.
