Public bug reported: Affects: kdebase kdm (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed
Description: When installing kdm, its default 'Theme' setting in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, line 450, is /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu. This directory is provided by the kubuntu-default-settings package, but kdm does not depend on it. So kdm should depend on kubuntu-default-settings. (Or the default theme should be 'circles' which is included in the kdm package, but hey, then what has the kubuntu theme been developed for.) To reproduce: * Install ubuntu or xubuntu (or possibly edubuntu, not sure) * sudo aptitude install kdm --> in debconf select kdm as default dm Actual result: * when kdm starts, you see an error message: 'could not find /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu' or something like it. * when you click OK, an unthemed kdm appears. Expected result: * A nice themed kdm without error message. -- In dapper, kdm should depend on kubuntu-default-settings or have a different default theme https://launchpad.net/bugs/41720 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
