Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdm
Package version: 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20 /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc don't default to kubuntu artwork, but to no or standard debian theming. >From [backgroundrc]: [...] Wallpaper=debian-kde_default.png [...] >From [kdmrc]: [...] # Whether the greeter should be themed. # Default is false #UseTheme=true # The theme to use for the greeter. Can point to either a directory or an XML # file. # Default is "" Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/circles [...] For comparison, settings from the Live-CD are: >From [backgroundrc]: [...] Wallpaper=kubuntu-wallpaper.png [...] >From [kdmrc]: [...] # Whether the greeter should be themed. # Default is false UseTheme=true # The theme to use for the greeter. Can point to either a directory or an XML # file. # Default is "" Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu [...] While I understand from Bug#58639 that this may be intended behaviour in regard of customized or minimal installations, applying those settings on upgrades will disable Kubuntu artwork in kdm. (Re-)Enabling Kubuntu theming needs the user to edit config files; there should be an easier way to do this. One possible solution would be to ask the user via debconf what kind of default theming (s)he would prefer. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [kdm, feisty] kdmrc and backgroundrc don't default to kubuntu artwork https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107954 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
