Description Marc Schiffbauer 2010-06-02 09:57:05 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The ussername field is always empty no matter if kdm is sett to remember it or not

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Marc Schiffbauer 2010-06-26 12:22:27 UTC 
fixed in 4.4.90
Comment 2 Daniel Hahler 2010-06-29 21:23:01 UTC 
I cannot confirm this to be fixed in 4.4.90-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa6 (Kubuntu beta packages).
Comment 3 Søren Holm 2010-07-01 23:07:19 UTC 
It's not fixed for me either. It seems like kdm is not using the configuration-file correctly. Has the configuration format changed ?
Comment 4 Søren Holm 2010-07-03 22:19:26 UTC 
Well, setting the preselected user to a fixed user works. So the configuration file is indeed read, but "previous user" is missed.

Where is the previous username stored ?
Comment 5 Søren Holm 2010-08-14 00:18:16 UTC 
This is still an issue in 4.5.0 - unless it is a packaging-issue.
Comment 6 Philipp Schmidt 2010-08-14 12:37:04 UTC 
I guess it's the following error (taken from /var/log/error.log):

Jul 29 18:17:58 faramir-linux kdm_greet[6448]: Data directory "/var/lib/kdm" not accessible: No such file or directory
Comment 7 Søren Holm 2010-08-14 14:58:00 UTC 
You're right Philipp. Changing owner to "kdm" fixes it. Nice catch. So it's a packaging problem. Please close the bug. Launchpad bug is here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/617815
Comment 8 Philipp Schmidt 2010-08-14 15:36:39 UTC 
Yeah. I'll do a Bugreport in Arch as well :D.
