Hello,

I'm having problems defining sessions under kdm login, I want to set up three possible sessions:

1. session that doesn't shows any user or list and waits for user and password input
2. another session as above
3. a session that has a specific user list in the username text field which stays there all the time.

my kdmrc looks as follows:

Code: Select all

both sessions 1 and 2 are working, but in session 3 I cannot see the username displayed in the username text box.
any ideas what is wrong in my config?

Thanks.

I can see "AutologinUser" present - so it shouldn't even show a greeter, but proceed immediately to starting a session for that user if I'm correct...
Does removing that option have any impact?

don't know what was the issue, I've removed all beside DefaultUser=mythtv and only for the last session and it worked.

thanks.
