KDM Settings Lost After Update

Support knowledgebase (wessels_kdmupdate)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 8.0

Symptom

KDM does not maintain its settings after an update from SuSE Linux 7.3 to 8.0. The attempt to restore the KDM settings as root in the KDE Control Center fails.

Cause

KDM looks for the configuration file kdmrc in the wrong place.

Solution

Log in as root in a console and execute the following commands:

mkdir -p /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/
ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/

After doing this, KDM functions should work again.
