Hi, I have installed kdm-trinity only. If I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm-trinity I get kdm and kdm-trinity offered with kdm marked red. When I choose kdm-trinity, I can see that /etc/X11/default-display-manager has been overwritten but cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager gives /opt/trinity/bin/kdm What is wrong?
Why is it marked Red, though?

The red usually isn't a big deal - maybe indicates current option.

Nothing.
o. k., Robert and the others, if nothing is wrong why do I get not the Trinity login box? If the others want to know what I mean, may I sent 3 little pictures to this address?
I attach 3 pictures. Kub1 and Kub2 come from Kubuntu+Trinity which have kdm 4.4.5 and kdm-kde3 3.5.12. LMDE comes from LMDE + Trinity. Robert wrote me Kub2 is the right one but how do I get it for LMDE? Where else can I look?

looks like lmde.jpg is the only one which shows kdm from trinity. kub1 is the kubuntu 4.x version, kub2 the kde3 version from kubuntu, not trinity, IMHO. btw., what is lmde - linux mint ?

Hallo Werner,
looks like lmde.jpg is the only one which shows kdm from trinity.
well, if you are right, then it looks very poor because the users are not listed, and there are no pictures. I cannot change the greeting...
btw., what is lmde - linux mint ?
Linus Mint Debian Edition. It is based on Debian Testing.

if you cannot configure these things in controlcenter->login manager then you're missing something in your trinity installation or it is some other login manager from mint (xdm ?)

Hallo Werner,

as I wrote yesterday when I started this thread, there is only kdm-trinity installed. Is there a way to test kdm? sudo kdm doesn't do anything.

then you have evtl. missed to also install kcontrol-trinity (which will allow you configure kdm from kontrolcenter)

that's clear, as it is probably already running :) try sudo killall X then from text-console, sudo /opt/trinity/bin/kdm.

Hallo Werner,

the Control Center is installed, and I used it quite often.
sudo killall X
says: X: Kein Prozess gefunden
then from text-console, sudo /opt/trinity/bin/kdm.
no result.
For all: How do your login windows look like?

in the post before, you mentioned you cannot configure kdm (users, pics..) so I suppose you missed to install kcontrol-trinity, which is not the controlcenter, but a configuration module for kdm.

oops, wrong :) kcontrol-trinity IS the controlcenter ... (some distros provide extra control modules for kdm, etc, however)

Go to a text console: <ctrl/strg>+<alt>+<f1>
login, open root shell: $ sudo bash
look where X is running: # ps ax|grep X 1328 tty7 Ss+ 0:42 /usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-zF79Xa
first column is process id - later referenced als <pid of X>, second is the terminal where X is running. in my case, I could go back to X by pressing alt>+<f7> as it's running on tty7.
look, which login manager is running:
# ps ax|grep dm 1320 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/kdm 3739 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto dm
in my case, kdm from trinity.
Now kill kdm: # /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity stop
make sure X is gone: # kill -9 <pid of X>
restart kdm: # /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity start
Sorry Nik, but the result is still the same. If LMDE.jpg is the login window, we can stop here.

Dude, you can't just have kdm-trinity installed. If LMDE.jpg is your login window, this means you also have gdm installed and you need to uninstall it.

Well, yes, LMDE.jpg is exactly what my kdm looks like.

Are you sure that's KDM? because that's the default login screen for GNOME in Debian using GDM; you must be using GDM also, not kdm.

it's definitly kdm. but the theme .. I do not know where it comes from. I cannot change it with kcontrol. So probably it's in some pace drawn in from debian, including the config.
but does gdm show username and password in one dialog? as far as I remember (and why I do not want that thing) it uses 2 dialogs, one for username and a second for password.

gdm isn't installed? I'm surprised. I just freshly installed debian and that's the default gdm login. Please check if 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' works for you - if it does, you are using gdm :-/ if not, i'm completely surprised.

So kdm-trinity is running.
I know, the theme is drown in from debian, but I do not know where and how to change it. Anyway, works for login, so I don't bother. On the other Hand, it could have something to do with my <crsr_up> and <ctrl>+<y> problem.

wow. I totally wasn't expecting that :P If you want to change the theme, there should be a kcmshell module for it.
(always better to be suspicious, lol :P)

There is. But it's not working. Well, I can change things, but they don't have any effect.

Agreed :-)

I've had this same issue with Debian Lenny and KDE 3.5.10. If I recall correctly, something in /etc/init.d/kdm was pulling in a Debian-specific theme (and overriding kcontrol), and commenting it out allowed configuring kdm through the control center.
Hi, with synaptic I loaded some screenshots of different display managers. Unfortunately kdm-trinity has none. Remember: the OS is LMDE. Here we go.
Hi, I think I could invest some time to track this error down. Is startx still the script to start the X-server?
Hi, in the "saytemwide" kdmrc (/etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc) I found the line Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/debian-moreblue I replaced it by Theme=/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm/themes/o2_enterprise What shall I say? It works, e.g. all users with there photos are shown. Maybe, it's kind of a Trinity installation problem.

Thanks here also.
I had an error messsage at login, /usr/share is the wrong path, not sure why Trinity doesn't point all things to /opt/trinity.
Just one thing I do not understand:
nik@dasding:~$ dpkg -S /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/debian-moreblue desktop-base-trinity: /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/debian-moreblue nik@dasding:~$
So that debian theme is from trinity. Wouldn't it be better to collect all themes in /opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm/themes ?

I'd suggest, you purge all *dm packages and reinstall kdm-trinity.
