KDE: User list in login manager

Is there a way to get a user list on KDE's login manager so the user can choose his profile and then enter the password? - kind of windowish way...
Must be a theme or anything appart?
Thanks!

Default KDM theme doesn't support users list (yeah I know, this is ridiculous*). In fact none of KDM themes supplied with KDM supports users list.
For my sister's PC I was using this one: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ku … ent=140882
It looks pretty the same as default one, just swap logo icon and background to your needs and your good to go**.
* There are bug reports about that (one of them made by me) but noone seems to give a rats ass about it - apparently login management in multi-user OS is not as important as fricking plasmoids
** This background inconsistency during logging into KDE is another small thing that's pisses me off

(null) users listed in Profile Manager

While configuring Lion Server, I created and reset Open Directory several times as I experimented with different configurations. As you can see from the attached image, it appears that this action has created (null) users in the profile manager user list. These users do not show up in Open Directory when viewed via Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
And my problems have gotten worse because I ran the WipeDB tool and I have destroyed the Open Directory several times in an attempt to remove the null users, but now when I rebuild everything and start from "scratch" the Profile Manager page crashes regularly.
I even went so far as to rename the host name on the machine to see if the new Open Directory that it created would emerge in a new structure, but no luck.
The "Null" users no longer say "null null", now their entries just say "loading..." and they never load, probably because there is nothing TO load, just old dead record pointers somewhere in the Profile Manager.
I've hunted through the file system in command line trying to figure out where any of this data might be stored, but I haven't found anything I feel comfortable deleting yet. I'm facing a reformat of the disks and a re-installatoin of the OS if I can't figure out how to fix this.
How can I clean this up? Anyone have any idea?
Thanks,
Ralph

Extract User List from Security Manager

Hi,
How to extract or export the list of users created in MII under Security Manager to some document like Excel.

Adarsh

Thanks Jeremy....
It works great!!
Just a thought......Is there a way to combine both Users and Roles and get the document like
User Name and his corresponding role.
Regards,
Adarsh

[SOLVED]Login manager in KDE 4.3 does not work!

This is a fresh install (just two days old and installed KDEbase just yesterday), and almost everything is working like a charm the only glitch I have experienced till now is that the login manager module in System Settings is not working as it should be. When I click on its button I know that it should normally ask me for my password but it does not do that and therefore when it opens up all the settings are greyed out and thus unchangable . Is this a bug or am I missing something (Anyone else experienced this!)?
Also, although not related to this topic, can somebody tell me where to find the setting for making windows shift to different workspace while dragging them through the edges of the screen. I'm sure I found this setting under Window Behavior>Window Behavior module in Kubuntu but it is nowhere to be found on the Arch KDE.

As nobody answered this question, I guess I'll just mark this thread as solved as even after a lot of search I'm unable to find the preference and so none of the arch users here know about it as well. I think that feature was kubuntu specific and as Arch ships vanilla KDE I think its useless trying to find it here.
Anyways thanks for the help guys

Login window user list not updating

I have set up a lab of emacs with os x 10.4 server and clients. The login window of the clients dispays a list of users. I added and imported a bunch of users and it all worked fine. I then updated to 10.4.4 and then backed up my server volume.
For some weird reason I can no longer see any additional users that I add in workgroup manager...infact even if I delete users this change is not reflected in the list of users in the login window.
-I have restarted the workstations and the server.
-I have deleted the DirectoryService folder off the client and reset all the Directory settings.
-I have udated the client to 10.4.4.
-I have mucked around with computer management settings in Workgroup Manager.
I am currently out of ideas. I'm not sure if the list of users I am seeing on the worksation is from a local cache or if its getting this bogus list from the server...Is there a cache file somewhere on the local machines that isn't being updated?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me cause at this stage I am starting to get a bit worried
Cheers.

Hi Rob, I think it'll be listed alphabetically, but maybe putting a spave before your name will put at the top- haven't tested it but works with other things within the system.
Cheers.
EDIT
Just checked it works....

Hi I do not want iTunes to open up automatically when I turn on my macbook pro. I tried going to System Preferences Users and Groups Login Items and then I took iTunes off the list but it still opens up automatically when I turn on my laptop.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

I am trying to stop programs from opening automatically when I turn my computer on. I tried system preferences users and groups login items...then I deleted them from the list but it did nothing.

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?
Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
Have you tried running Repair Permissions?
Do you have at least 15% free space available on your HD?

FindGroups - Error while getting group list for login user

Hi All,
I am using below code snippet to search a group in OIM but it gives me "Error while getting group list for login user" error message.
tcResultSet rsetAss = null;
tcGroupOperationsIntf groupIntf = (tcGroupOperationsIntf)utilFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcGroupOperationsIntf");
HashMap mapGrp = new HashMap();
mapGrp.put("Groups.Group Name","DEF_GROUP");
rsetAss = groupIntf.findGroups(mapGrp);
And i am ruuning this code using xelsysadm logon.
com.thortech.xl.util.config.ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
com.thortech.xl.crypto.tcSignatureMessage moSignature = tcCryptoUtil.sign("xelsysadm", "PrivateKey");
utilFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env, moSignature);
Any guess?
Thanks & Regards

Here it is Rajiv,

AD security groups listed in user groups in Config Manager however not listed when selecting values for the "System Resource - System Group Name" query

Morning All,
We are in the process of setting up our SCCM 2012 infrastructure and are experiencing issues with our device collection querys based on AD security groups.
I can see the security groups are being updated per adsgdis.log - i can see the computers that are members of the groups in AD are being recorded in the same log. Issue is when we build the device collection query - click the value button for the string,
only 2 of the 18 AD security groups are displayed. These are 2 AD groups we setup initially to test.
We have since added several additional yet they only appear to populate as user groups in config manager.
The same goes for additional OUs that we have created with AD.
When i click the value button only the initial 10 OUs that were created are populating in the list of applicable OUs.
We have the discovery methods Group Discovery & System Discovery enabled and set to search the parent OU recursively
I'm wondering if there might be an SQL issue with this as it initially worked but stopped...
Additionally we added an OU recently that now appears in in the Values options in the query but the ones added previously and additionally after are not showing up....
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Given the adsgdis.log lists the new pc and the group it's assigned to it appears the AD group discovery is working.
Have the following excert from the adsgdis.log
INFO: Processing discovered group object with ADsPath = 'LDAP://************.****.COM/CN=Software - Microsoft Project Professional 2010 x64,OU=Software,OU=US-West,DC=*****,DC=com' SMS_AD_SECURITY_GROUP_DISCOVERY_AGENT 10/4/2012 7:08:13 AM 8180

Here you can see it processes the new members in the Software - Microsoft Project Professional 2010 x64 group and captures Thurmanwin7vm as a member.
I did find some log entries that reference permission issues with objects in the SQL database and have opened a case with MS to get that looked into. Hopefully that will be where the issue lies.

Users not able to login but present in user list

Hi :
We have couple of users in user list , among those some of the users are not able to login . When i went to SU01 that users are present .
when i try to display/ change the users which is saying that user does not exist . but that users are present in user list .
How to activate those users instead of recreate .
This is very critical for me please help .
Thanks in advance,
Chimsi

Chimsi,
Now this is going to sound silly, but on their log on screen, are they trying to log into the correct client?
Also make sure they are using the correct password. You can reset it in SU01.
Make sure in SU01, that the users are defined as "Dialog" user in the "Logon Data" tab and that the user's Validity Period is set correctly.
Let us know if the logon data is all correct, but you are still getting errors.
Cheers,
Pat.

User listing unavailable on login window

Hey!
Ever since I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.1) my login window has changed from user listing to requiring a username and a password. If I set it to "List of users" the login window still asks for a username, and weirdly the "Show the restart, sleep and shutdown buttons" will cease functioning as well, i.e. no matter if I check it or not no buttons show up.
I have tried deleting all the com.apple.loginwindow.plist files in both my home and the root library to no avail.
Is this a Leopard-specific bug or maybe a result of upgrading directly from Tiger? Any ideas as to what i could do, please?

I created a new admin user account: when I logged out now only the new admin account was selectable, my old one was accessible only when clicking "Other..." and typing in the account name. So it did kind of solve the problem, but not how I wanted it.
Looks like as is my old account is like the Administrator/root account, that does not appear on the user listing. I read somewhere that some of the plist files control which users are added to the login screen, maybe I can meddle with that?
I cannot reinstall 10.5.1, my Install DVD came with it built-in.

What's the best way to manage the user list for Reports on P6 web R8.2?

BI requires a separate users list from P6 EPPM. Any recommendations on this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

Can I uninstall KDE Login Manager, but keep the KDE Window Manager?

I like the Window Manager n-workspaces with different wallpaper feature, but I hate the slow GUI Login Manager.
Help.

inittab is long gone, we're on systemd now. Seriously, search the wiki for login manager or display manager.
You can't uninstall it, but you can easily disable it.

Users added to Profile Manager not showing up in everyone group

So profile manager was working quite well until I made a change to the workgroup group.
I removed the password policy from the workgroup group and added a new group for the password policy so we could essentially still manage non user assigned iOS devices.
Now when I add a new user to the workgroup group on the server I have them login to the mydevices site so we can enroll the device and they can login but are immediately presented with:
"You do not have permission to access the page you were looking for. Contact your system administrator."
In troubleshooting the issue I noticed that new users being added are not showing up the in the everyone group which is preventing the users from having proper access. Prior to all this I could add a user and they would show up in everyone as intended.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I have a user in Server.app that is not showing up in Users group. She is listed in her sub-group, but I cannot add devices to her account. When I click on the arrow next to her name in the sub-group, it takes me to the Users list to the top user.
Any thoughts?
