Kubuntu - KDM Themes problem.

[ZeuZ]

Well, after a while of trying a variety of things, I managed to get here and thought I would ask...

I had everything working correctly until I modified the text on the Login Manager, from that time on, when the system boots up, KDM starts, but the login does not hold the KDM Theme applied.
I can select them, though, they won't ever appear... I've tried setting Login Manager to default values, and so I did with the KDM Themes (set them to default) but it didn't work... So, any idea on how to make them work again without dpkg-reconfigure kdm themes? If there's no way, guide me through the process, will try to make it..

Re: Kubuntu - KDM Themes problem.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded KDM theme manager and applied a theme but when i log off the screen just goes black and I have to completely shut down and then when i start it up again it goes to like a defaut theme, not the one i applied. Ideas? For the both of us...

Re: Kubuntu - KDM Themes problem.

Apparently KDM Theme Manager is broken in Gutsy, and so to install themes it is necessary to hand edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. For more on this subject, see:

Well, aparently my problem can also be fixed by editting manually the Theme= row in /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc like this:
Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/true-nature
UseTheme=true

Gonna try now, and report later.




EDIT: Tried it, didn't work, still on the search for some answer...
