Configuring KDM

[jaraeez]

Maybe you just need to install it and it will be in the KDE CC.

 

Yep your right just looking for the kdetheme manager (which gets installed as default on Kubuntu & Fedora 5) then realised that I have to install it first. NP though its in there though just do a

urpmi kdetheme

& you should be good to go...

Here is what I get:

 

[john@localhost ~]$ su root

Password:

[root@localhost john]# urpmi kdetheme

no package named kdetheme

[root@localhost john]#

Did you setup your sources (with easyurpmi)?

It doesn't matter, I don't need to have the "~/" in front because by default the shell is on my home folder already. It took me to the same place but there is no kdm directory in the config directory. And no, I'm not running Gnome.

Yes it does because /.kde/share/config/kdm will take you to there regardless (if it existed) whereas .kde/share/config/kdm would take you to a hidden directory called .kde in your present directory.

 

However that will only install a new KDE theme, not a KDM theme

 

Whereas

Will install a kdm theme (I already clicked on administrator mode)

 

ah, see I don't even have that option in the KDE CC. I guess dexter found which package I am missing. Thanks.

ah, thank you dexter. That explains why I don't have that option in the KDE CC. I'll look for the the kdetheme package. Thanks. That's a lot better and shorter than the way I was doing it...sheesh.
