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.

Take a look at thread http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4196 and
see if anything that belongs in the wiki never made it there. If you haven't
gotten this figured out in a couple of days I'll try to find time to
look at my two 12.2/TDE installs to see if I can help.

I am able to login using xdm fine; it's just
TDM that's not working, as
far as I can tell. xdm works with twm and icewm, but TDM does not work with
either of them, so I'm pretty sure that there's something wrong with the
Trinity setup. I suspect that the absence of /etc/trinity probably has
something to do with it, but I don't know what is supposed to be in it.
LeslieA problem of XDM is that it doesn't let you choose from a simple menu the
window manager or desktop environment you want to use, this is why I would really try to
see if from GDM you could choose TDE as a desktop environment and try to see if you can
login properly and use Trinity. Plus it doesn't mean that XDM is able to see Trinity
or its paths. If after installing GDM you can login to use either twm, icewm or TDE, then
we'll know that the problem is with TDM, or simply using GDM might do the job.
From what I have seen by testing different TDE linux distros (mine, Francois
Andriot'S FC 17 with TDE and EXE GNU/Linux), in EXE, there is a /etc/trinity folder
while in FC17 and in PCLinuxOS, there is no /etc/trinity folders, as is probably the case
with OpenSUSE. Francois Andriot is the person who has made the packages for Fedora, PCLOS
and many other distros and I guess that probably all of them don't have an
/etc/trinity folder.
On PCLOS, I have found at least some of these files to be in /opt/trinity/share/config
Might the problem come from using 32bit packages on 64bit system?
I don't know if you do it on a fresh install or from your existing system, but I would
try to do it from a 32bit version of OpenSUSE, to see if it works as it should.

I think (not sure) that the original problem is related to a PAM
authentication failure.
Trinity's base programs use PAM authentication for 4 distinct actions.
In all distributions for which I built TDE, EXCEPT opensuse, I've
imitated the Debian/Ubuntu packaging way, and I've created 4 different
files.
These files are simply copy/paste of their KDE4 equivalent on their
corresponding distribution.
Build options:
| -DKCHECKPASS_PAM_SERVICE="kcheckpass-trinity" \
-DKDM_PAM_SERVICE="kdm-trinity" \
-DKSCREENSAVER_PAM_SERVICE="kscreensaver-trinity" \|
So you have 4 PAM files:
$ ls -l /etc/pam.d/*trinity*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 sept. 24 15:01 /etc/pam.d/kcheckpass-trinity
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 500 sept. 24 15:01 /etc/pam.d/kdm-trinity
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 352 sept. 24 15:01 /etc/pam.d/kdm-trinity-np
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 sept. 24 15:01 /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver-trinity
But for OpenSuse, I've chosen to imitate the Opensuse KDE3 packaging
way. KDM is using the XDM configuration file.
| -DKCHECKPASS_PAM_SERVICE="kcheckpass-trinity" \
-DKDM_PAM_SERVICE="xdm" \
-DKSCREENSAVER_PAM_SERVICE="kcheckpass-trinity" \
|
That the second time I'm using packaging code from the Opensuse KDE3
repository, and in both case it does not work correctly ...
First time: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1389
So I will stop the opensuse exceptions in RPM packaging. In 3.5.13.2 and
future versions Opensuse will be packaged exaclty like other RPM distros.

What I was recalling is the part about Xsession discussed in
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4095 whic may not have gotten
the required follow-up before next build. IIRC the problem I was having that
that fixed is your current problem.

Hello, this message is harmless (I think).
It just tells that some user account does not have an associated icon to
display on the login screen.
So KDM is unable to display the icon.
