Description Martín Marqués 2005-08-12 18:56:47 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
When ever kdm stats it gives an error about not finding /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Bluecurve (which doesn't exist). All this with the last kde upgrade (I think it was 10/Agust/2005).

Also, any configuration of kdm will result in no change at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-3.4.2-0.fc3.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kdm


Actual Results:  Error about not finding /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Bluecurve

Expected Results:  There should be a Bluecurve theme.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Aleksey Nogin 2005-08-14 00:25:33 EDT

Note that this only happens with the latest kdebase upgrade. The
/etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc contains lines:

Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Bluecurve
Themes=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/circles,/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Bluecurve

but the directory /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Bluecurve does not exist.

P.S. On FC4 this directory is provided by edhat-artwork-0.122-10, but
redhat-artwork-0.117-1 on FC3 does not have it.

Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2005-08-14 10:00:42 EDT

It seems to me to be a problem with the new KDE base pointing to the wrong
location.  I don't think it is worth the effort backporting the FC4 changes in
redhat-artwork since older versions of KDE worked fine.

Comment 3 Martín Marqués 2005-08-14 19:11:49 EDT

So, what should be done to solve this BUG? Is there a way to fix kdmrc so that 
it finds what it has to find? 
 
I also found (don't know if it's related with this bug) that some changes done 
to KDM through kcontrol don't take effect (users to show with there 
fotographs, etc.).

Comment 4 Ngo Than 2005-08-15 02:06:49 EDT

it seems kdmtheme is enable in FC3. You should please type the following
commandline (need root) to fix this problem:

perl -pi -e 's|UseTheme=true|UseTheme=false|g' /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc


it's now fixed in CVS. Thanks for your report.

Comment 5 Martín Marqués 2005-08-15 08:57:02 EDT

OK, but didn't have to bother old friend perl for that. Emacs was enough. :-)
