Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs AutoLogin immediately works but when I set 'AutoLoginDelay=10' in '/usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc' upon logging in login screen freezes and no user can login. FWIW this is happening in open SusSE 11.2, Fedora 12, and Mandriva 2010.0 all X86_64 since KDE 4.4. Using openSuSE 11.2 as example: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Edit '/usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc' to: [X-:0-Core] AutoLoginAgain=true AutoLoginDelay=10 AutoLoginEnable=true AutoLoginLocked=false AutoLoginUser=<userx> ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors TerminateServer=true 2.logout/login or reboot 3.When login screen is reached user MUST very quickly hit enter [even though AutoLoginEnable=true] OR login screen freezes and no user can login. Actual Results: As above. Expected Results: Before KDE 4.4 AutoLogin worked fine with 10 second delay in KDE 4.3.x. Also same in openSuSE 11.2, Fedora 12, and Mandriva 2010.0 all x86_64. Let me know of any additional info needed. Am willing to learn and test things. http://pastebin.ca/1823346 http://pastebin.ca/1823348

Opps! My mistake I was using openSuSE as an example... # zypper -vvv if kdm ... Information for package kdm: Repository: @System Name: kdm Version: 4.4.1-417.5 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 5.0 MiB Summary: KDE login and display manager Description: This package contains kdm, the login and session manager for KDE.
Same problem, noticed on 2 systems (using gentoo / kde 4.4.1 / x86_64). The password field is uneditable when the countdown is done. Choosing 'remote login' unfreezes the field for me on one computer (and locks up the other).
Also having autologin problems, the same config worked on kde 4.3.5. I'm on gentoo x86 and x86_64.
I can confirm this behavior: "The password field is uneditable when the countdown is done." I can also confirm that 'AutoLoginDelay=10 did work in KDE 4.3.5 in openSuSE 11.2, Fedora 12, and Mandriva 2010.0. It stopped working when KDE 4.4.0 was installed. My Mandriva is still KDE 4.4.0. openSuSE and Fedora are KDE 4.4.1.
Humm... This bug seems to never have been assigned, or triaged or, whatever. Wonder if it's been looked at? Wonder did I do something wrong when I filed It? If a bug is deemed unimportant [understandable in this case] doesn't someone usually post that? Do I need to provide more info? I am happy to do so.
Is it permissible for me to change status to confirmed? I would think someone at KDE bugzilla would do that?
AFAICS, there are two issues being reported here: 1. The timeout set with AutoLoginDelay in kdmrc is not respected - kdm just sits waiting and never performs the login 2. kdm shows the specified user and default password display of "****" on start, but the password field isn't selectable and thus it's not possible to type the user's password and or press enter to force the login. I can confirm both on Gentoo with kdm-4.4.1 with the following entries in kdmrc: AutoLoginEnable=true AutoLoginAgain=true AutoLoginDelay=5 AutoLoginUser=<user>

I stole some wording from your post as I believe it is more accurate than my original language. Also to update both problems noted in post #8 persist in KDE 4.4.2 in openSUSE 11.2, and Factory, Fedora 12 and 13, and Mandriva 2010.0 and Cooker.
Both problems are still present in 4.4.2 in Gentoo as well.
Still present in 4.4.3 in debian
Still present in 4.4.4 in Sabayon 5.3 x86_64. Is this bug posted in the correct place. Have any KDE dev's responded? Has KDE.org triage reported? This bug has been repeatedly confirmed. It still exists in Fedora 13, Mandriva 2001.1, and openSuSE 11.3 all x86_64 as well as latest Sabayon stable [mentioned above]. What did I do wrong? I'm happy to correct if I did something wrong...
Inadvertent double post. Sorry.
Behavior persists in my 3 current operating systems: openSuSE x86_64 KDE 4.4.4 Fedora 13 x86_64 KDE 4.4.5 Mandriva 2010.1 x86_64 KDE 4.4.3 I'm wondering what it takes to get this changed from "UNCONFIRMED"
2 independent confirmations should be sufficient. done.
Thanks. Then here are the kdm versions of the operating systems I'm currently using: openSuSE 11.3: Name: kdm Version: 4.4.4-7.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 5.0 MiB Summary: KDE login and display manager Description: This package contains kdm, the login and session manager for KDE. Fedora 13 (Goddard): Name : kdm Arch : x86_64 Version : 4.4.5 Release : 1.fc13 Size : 4.9 M Repo : installed >From repo : updates Summary : The KDE login manager URL : http://www.kde.org/ License : GPLv2 Description: KDM provides the graphical login screen, shown shortly after boot up, : log out, and when user switching. Mandriva 2010.1: kdm-4.4.3-20mdv2010.1.x86_64 I'm happy to provide any info needed. Or do whatever is needed in any of the 3 OS's.
I'm wondering if I filed this bug report incorrectly. I don't recall ever filing a bug report and getting no response whatsoever from the organization handling the bug report. Heck usually people are more than happy to tell you if you are wrong.
your report seems good enough to require no further feedback, and nobody has time to actually deal with it => silence.
SVN commit 1174286 by ossi: fix timed login the async-ification broke it. need to enable the socket listener after sending the auto-login command. BUG: 229475 M +1 -0 kgverify.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1174286
If you fixed it now, that's too late for 4.5.1. :-( Setting "fixed in version" to 4.5.2.
That's good news. I have KDE 4.5.1 in Fedora 14 x86_64. I can confirm that this problem still exists in KDE 4.5.1. Looking forward to 4.5.2. Many thanks.
In Mandriva Cooker we have: KDE - Platform Version 4.5.68 (4.6 >= 20100912) and this bug is indeed fixed there. Again. Many thanks.
