Version: (using Devel) Compiler: gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] x86_64 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources i'm using trunk packages from opensuse, version 4.1.86, the problem appears to be non distro-specific as i had this error in archlinux [32bit] with binaries built by kdesvn-build this error shows only if autologin is enabled, for every user that has autologin enabled [not in the same time of course:)], i don't even see a greeter but in /var/log/messages i see: Jan 1 10:49:28 mybox kdm[8188]: Internal error: unknown D_* command 112 and additionally sometimes Jan 1 10:49:28 mybox kdm[8188]: Internal error: unknown D_* command 1768841581 when debugging this on archlinux few weeks ago kdm tells something about bad RPC call or sth [i don't remember debug flags i used]
I can confirm this problem, same setup opensuse, autologin activated Jan 2 13:25:11 thermoskanne kdm[5722]: Internal error: unknown D_* command 112 Jan 2 13:25:11 thermoskanne kdm[5722]: Internal error: unknown D_* command 8 Jan 2 13:25:11 thermoskanne kdm[5722]: Internal error: unknown D_* command 1936875883 Jan 2 13:25:11 thermoskanne kdm[5722]: Internal error: unknown D_* command 7234932 but also : Jan 2 13:25:08 thermoskanne kdm_config[5723]: Multiple occurrences of key 'UseTheme' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc
Removing UseTheme=true from the kdmrc file removed the Jan 2 13:25:08 thermoskanne kdm_config[5723]: Multiple occurrences of key 'UseTheme' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc entry It was just one "UseTheme" occurence though... Now it is also down to just one internal error: Internal error: unknown D_* command 112 I suspect this patch, it is the only modification besides generated .desktop files http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kdm/backend/client.c?r1=887868&r2=897662
Still there in KDE 4.1.87: Jan 3 15:14:05 [kdm] Internal error: unknown D_* command 112 Jan 3 15:14:05 [kdm] Internal error: unknown D_* command 1634302573 @Karsten König: Indeed, reverting commit 897662 fixes kdm autologin.
