Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux I've tried to change kdm welcome message using KDE Control Center. It did change the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc (GreetString=MyNewWelcomeMsg), but kdm still displays my old welcome message. I'm using automatic delayed connection (I don't think it is related...)
i think you are facing the same problem as in #98154. please confirm.
the only line containing the word "theme" inside my kdmrc is Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/circles If I can help more, just tell me what to do ! Thanks for considering my bug report !
errm, ok, different theory: as you compiled kde yourself, it is highly improbable that your kdm config lives in /etc. check out ${prefix}/share/config/kdm.
Not a valid theory... but it's my fault. In fact i'm using Debian/Unstable official packages. Looks like I've reported too fast ;)
!@§$!" - there is no debian unstable in the platform list. testing comes closest. anyway ... this opens new possibilities, for example distro-specific magic. :) some guy from debian or one of its derivatives recently talked to me about injecting config modifications. maybe check /var/lib/kdm or something to that effect. simply running kdm with -debug 2 to find out what it thinks you configured it like should help as well.
i've reported the bug to debian : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406939
rejecting as packaging/config/whatever bug.
hi oswald, i'm the debian guy who talked with you about some magic for kdm customization :) I don't think it's a distro specific bug but a duplicate of #98154 (Like your 1st comment).
