Hi,

 

I upgraduated mandriva LE with mandriva 2006. Since this day it is impossible for me to open many session like in the previous edition of mandriva.

 

kdebase-kdm-3.4.2-55mdk.rpm is installed, I cannot also use KDM when my computer started. Only GDM and XDM are working.

 

 

How can I do to resolve this problem.

 

 

 

:help:

From a previous post of mine.

 

I think I know what you are looking for.

For some dumb idiotic reason, Mandriva has made a default theme setting for the Log in screen which totally blocks the login screen setup that you make in KDE Control Centre ------> System ------> Login Manager.

 

Do the following:-

Open Konsole and type in ... kdesu konqueror then click Enter. It will ask for your root password so type that in then click Enter again. This will open Konqueror in root mode so you do not have to login to root to be able to modify a particular file. You can close konsole now since you no longer need it.

 

When Konqueror opens then go to /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc.

kdmrc is a file so click on it and it should open in Kwrite, scroll down to near the bottom and look for a line that looks like :- UseTheme=true

Delete the word true and type in false instead. Save the change and when you reboot you will see the proper kdm login format.

 

Cheers. John.
