KDE4 login manager is disabled [SOLVED]

I've updated two of my systems to KDE4.1 and both have the same problem: Login Manager is disabled (grayed out)
With that I cannot change any settings. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

It's possible to login as root, but it's disabled by default. You have to edit kdmrc to allow root login.
Try kdesu again. It didn't work for me the first time, either. Or, you could just use sudo for this.
OK. That did the trick!!
I enabled root log in and then I was able to customize the theme and get a whole lot of the other settings working.
Thank you!!
There are yet a number of other things that do not work but ... I got KDE to at least not look ugly.
Quanta, which I use on a daily basis does not work by default but one of the devs was nice enough to put a package build up, so that's fixed ... (sort of, when Quanta starts it complains that a bunch of plug-ins are missing... but the "key" components are running )
Thanks a lot for the help.

Gdm login manager background picture[SOLVED]

Hello all,
I use gnome and gdm. I am wondering how I can change the background image of gdm behind the login window so that I can set my wallpaper image of my desktop also as background image for gdm login. Right now, it is somehow strange to have this green default image behind the login window but my wallpaper pciture is really cool.
Is there any way for proper configuration? I do not want to mess up with the normal configuration. I just want to know whether gdm itself supports this kind of feature.
Thanks in advance.

Is there no other way to do this in gdm or gnome GUI? Is it really normal way to create a soft link for gnome-appearance-properties.desktop and then change the image? It seems like that changing that image was planned not to be supported and thus people found an unusual way to do this.
Please consult me concerning this. At the moment, I am really happy with my system and do not want to touch the original system by doing things manually.
Arch, and Linux in general, is about freeing you to be able to make whatever you want of your system. If you are looking for a "supported" method or a GUI, you can either live with the background image you have, or you can get your hands dirty and learn how your system works. It's your choice.

[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

Which login manager? [SOLVED]

I have discovered that I was unable to startxfce4 as a user because I did not install a login manager yet. Would you reccomend xorg-xdm or sLim? Why?

Does root have an ~/.xinitrc?
EDIT: I'm fine with just having console login.
Please do not run a window manager as root. But to answer your question, root can have xinitrc too, yes. It's not there if you didn't create it manually...so just create it with any text editor you want.

[SOLVED] Shutdown not possible without login manager

When I login using slim as user, everything is fine.
Automatic login without slim changes the rights of my user.
When dbus is active as a daemon in rc.conf, wicd works fine (without dbus wicd would not work), but only xfce4 log-out is avaiblable. Xfce4-Shutdown and -restart is inactive.
I'm not using a login manager, but mingetty, see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Boot
(used slim, at that stage I didn't have these kind of problems).
according to the wiki

I have tried different commands in my ~.xinitrc, but no change of behaviour
1. exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4 (I read somewhere that ck must be started before dbus-launch)
2. exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
When dbus is inactive in the rc.conf daemon's session, wicd does not work, but I can shut down the computer.

it works now with the help of a debian thread, unfortunately in German
http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=131087
three additional files in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local have to set up (exactly the way they are in the thread):
etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.consolekit.pkla
etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla
etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.upower.pkla
For Archlinux the group powerdev has to be replaced by power and users by storage
in sudoers /usr/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper has to be removed.
After a restart all should work (mount and restart works on my installation now).

The GNOME login manager crashes upon booting

Every time I start up Arch, I get a window with a sad face in a computer saying that there was a problem and I have the option to log out which does nothing. The only way I am able to access my desktop is to open another terminal, manually log in, and run "startx." The login manager appeared one time but I have no clue how it happened. This is a fresh install of Arch that I installed yesterday. I am not familiar with troubleshooting so could you tell me what logs to post here? Here is a log file named :0.log which was located in the GDM log folder. This might say something about my issue.

Enter login manager and X respawn issue

Wondering if anyone else has this. I have a login for myself and one for my wife and 'normal' people who don't want/know how to use a tiling WM and firefox-pentadacytl, and want to have a graphical login manager. SLiM caused too many hard crashes where I'd lose the keyboard. GDM and KDM have too much cruft and LXDM is even less stable. Enter looked good, but on logout from openbox (not ScrotWM), tty7 locks up and I'll get the "X respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes message" in my logs/tty1.
With SLiM it looks like this is an auth. file and/or xorg.conf error from what I've read. I've been relying on X to auto-config and don't have an xorg.conf.
Where do I want to start to work around this?
I'll post my initab and Xorg logs in a second or two.

Took another pass at the login manager thing again today. Just tried to re-install xorg-xkbcomp, to little apparent effect.
Logging out of ScrotWM works. Logging into Openbox (via my other user's login) works. Attempting to log out of openbox, either with the r-click logout or with $ openbox --exit, drops me to an X root window and enter does not reappear without # killall X or #telinit 3 followed by #telinit 5.
Is is possible that this is a result of the
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session
line in the regular user .xinitrc? Otherwise I'm at a loss for ideas besides hacking the Enter code.
Mostly giving up on this for now.

Login manager doesn't restart

Hi,
At the end of my session the login manager (kdm) doesn't restart any more. It starts only when I digit "reboot" or "shutdown -P"
Thanks

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.

No 'system /administration /login manager" in Gnome

With previous installs I always had login manager.
so I tried to reinstall GDM and got this--
warning: directory permissions differ on var/run/gdm/
filesystem: 1775 package: 1777
warning: directory permissions differ on var/log/gdm/
filesystem: 1770 package: 755
I ran gdmsetup as root and got "command not found"
This is a new install and everything else is perfect.
Can someone kindly tell me how to solve this please?
Thanks

See the "where is the gdm setup gone" thread, and the wiki page about changes in gnome 2.28.

Can't get Login Manager (xdm) to work

I would like to boot directly into a login maqnager such as xdm or wdm.
I have read the wiki on "Adding a login manager" but can't get xdm to work.
I have the following line in my /etc/inittab
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
I have the following in .xsession
/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc
But I don't have a .xinitrc file. That is probably the problem.
I would like to boot into xdm and then after logging in go to xfce4.
What do I need to do?
Rob

Thanks. That log does not show anything. However, there is a log in /var/log/xdm-errors.log. It shows:
Cannot open config file. Using builtin defaults.
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/sg=hare/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1: fixing.
I also tried using wdm. wdm does work. But no matter what window managaer I choose, it always opens startxfce4. Strange...
But I am perplexed that I can't get xdm to work. My setup is very simple.
Here is my latest attempt:
.xsession reads:
/bin/bash --login -i ~/.xinitrc
.xinitrc reads:
/opt/xfce4/bin/startxfce4
Any ideas?

Archiso login-manager autologin

Hi!
I'm playing with archiso to create a custom .iso and i'm not able to autologin user in lightdm ,
i've to enter username and password to enter the gnome session.
I've added autologin entries in lightdm.conf,
added the user to the autologin group
and created .dmrc in /etc/skel with gnome session entry.
Once installed the iso to the hd the autologin works as expected but it doesn't work in live.
any hint?

lucazade wrote:at the moment i'm trying to startx without the login manager using .xinitrc
but i'd like to keep lightdm also in the live session
PolyBender wrote:Make sure that you've enabled the service using systemctl maybe?

If you want to start X without the login manager, then I wouldn't enable it...
Just leave it installed is enough.

Login manager

So I think I finally got most everything Installed and working, and I can finally say that Arch is the distro for me. There are however some things I'd like to workout. I want to use a login manager instead of having to login and typing startx. I use xfce and I don't really want to have to install all of KDE or gnome just to get a login manager. From what I can tell Kdm(KDE), Gdm(Gnome), and Xdm are my only choices. What is Xdm and is it worth it? If so please give me links on a guide to install it.

Gnome Login Manager??

I have installed gnome extras and cant find the package with Login Manager. How do i changed themes and edit it so i dont have to enter password each time i log on? I have gnome-system-tools installed. Is there another package that contains the Login manager?

The package is gdm. As for customizing, you may want to read this:

Setting monitor resolution in the login manager, before session launch

Hey guys,
I want to have SLiM set the resolution to "auto" once it boots. At the moment, it seems like it boots directly into 800x600, and not into my native resolution, 1366x768. Sometimes I have an external monitor connected as well, and it's a good deal larger.
I was thinking it would be possible to run "xrandr --auto" which does this for me, but I am unable to see how exactly this is done through SLiM.
If it becomes necessary, I'm willing to change login manager to something else. gdm, xdm, kdm, you name it.
Thanks,
gonX

Are you using a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
If not, then you may want to try setting up a basic one with settings for your video card, monitor, and screen that includes the resolution that you want slim to use.
Before XRandR, it was set up in the xorg.conf file.
Though, now that I think about it, if it's an issue with size of the fonts, I think that you can adjust that in the slim theme. I don't use slim or any login manager.
I find that it's easier for me to log in via the console and startx manually. That way if I break my X.... It's happened.
Anyway, HTH

KDE4 login manager is disabled [SOLVED]
