Description Martin van Es 2008-12-14 08:37:51 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I can not launch 'login manager' from systemsettings in KDE 4.1.80 (beta1) as normal user. Systemsettings says:

systemsettings(16873) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Selected item:  "Login Manager"
systemsettings(16873) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Comment:        "Configure the login manager (KDM)"
systemsettings(16873) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Needs root privs: true
systemsettings(16873) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Starting root module:  ("-d", "-i", "/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/apps/preferences-system-login.png", "-c", "/usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US")
systemsettings(16873) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Quit root module:  ("-d", "-i", "/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/apps/preferences-system-login.png", "-c", "/usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US")


Running "/usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US" as root works without any problem.

Still valid in 4.2.0 beta2 (4.1.85)
Comment 2 Gonzalo Díaz Cruz 2008-12-26 01:24:30 UTC 
I'm using kde4 beta2. I has the same problem.
Comment 3 Dario Andres 2009-04-10 19:43:52 UTC 
You "can't launch". The login manager module doesn't appear at all.. or their controls are disabled ?
Also, have you updated your version (don't forget to mention it when reporting a bug against a devel version)
Thanks

It's fixed in settingsmanager 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu Jaunty) for me.
