How to install the user Images

Thu Oct 16, 2008 6:09 pm
Hi to all.

I have installed a new machine directly with 11.0 and KDE4, I upgraded to the most current KDE 4.1.2

When I enter the system settings config, and go to my user settings to set my user image (for the kdm login screen), there are not any images available!!!!

If i try this as root, only a very small set of images appear.

Where are the images for the users in kde4?

Thanks


Greetings.

They should be under $KDEDIRS/share/KDE4/apps/kdm/pics/users/ or something similar.

Hi.

Thanks.

I can see I have $KDEDIRS not defined, so I tested to set it to $KDEDIRS=/usr

as this files are in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/pics/users/


but after setting this variable and runnign systemsettings in the same konsole the option does not shown any image.

If i choose to add a custom one and navigate to the /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/pics/users/
folder, then i can see the images, but seems that the locations in not found by default.

I'm using spanish language, could be due to this?

or could be due to have the /usr/share/kde4 instead of /usr/share/KDE4

Many thanks
