Subject: Re: [trinity-users] Cannot login using Trinity kdm on openSuSE 12.2
Quoting "J. Leslie Turriff" <jlturriff(a)centurytel.net>et>:
Hi,
I installed Trinity in my openSuSE 12.2 on X86_64, using the
instructions
on your website.
With DISPLAYMANAGER="/opt/trinity/bin/kdm" in
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
and DEFAULT_WM="kdm" in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager, booting the system
displays the Trinity login prompt, but when I enter my username and password,
the display just blinks and refreshes the password field.
I have looked in /var/log/messages, /var/log/warn, /var/log/Xorg.0.log,
xdm.errors and kdm.log, but the only suspicious items I see are in kdm.log:
QWidget::setMinimumSize: The smallest allowed size is (0,0)
QWidget::setMaximumSize: (unnamed/QDialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not
possible
Feb 8 13:39:24 kdm_greet[28323] error: Can't open default user face
QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image
QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
Perhaps one or more of these is causing the issue? Any
suggestions on how
to proceed are welcome.
I notice that several of the kdm scripts in
/opt/trinity/share/config/kdm/, such as Xstartup, refer to
configuration information in /etc/trinity/, which does not exist on my
machine. If I create that directory, what should I put into it, and
where do I get it from?
Hi!
I don't know if you really need to use TDM, but as I had issues at some points with
TDM on my PCLOS remaster, I installed GDM (Gnome display manager) and it worked right as
it should and makes no difference once Trinity is started.
Even if it's not what you want at first, it might be a good way to troubleshoot if the
rest of Trinity has installed as it should.
Have a nice day!
