[Bug 148706] Re: kdmtheme module can not apply changes

[Stefan Skotte]

I just installed the final version of kubuntu 7.10, and followed the
instructions provided in the first post:

1.) Install kdmtheme and kde-kdm-themes
2.) Startup System Settings.
3.) Appearance > KDM Theme Manager
4.) Click the Administrator Mode... button. And enter admin mode.
5.) Check Enable KDM Themes. <--- this button is enabled default by kdmtheme code! *
6.) Select a theme. <--- the list is active and allow selections
7.) Can not click the Apply button. <--- as needed the apply button is triggered when you select other than the currently active theme.

kdmtheme in kubuntu uses /etc/kdm.d/20-* as default settings, and 30-*
as customized.

This is the permissions on the files in my default install:

/etc/default/:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-22 11:38 kdm.d

/etc/default/kdm.d/:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 159 2007-10-12 17:06 20_kubuntu_default_settings
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171 2007-10-22 11:38 30_kubuntu_default_settings

20_kubuntu_default_settings:

USETHEME="true"
THEME="/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu"
USEBACKGROUND="true"
WALLPAPER="/usr/share/wallpapers/kubuntu-wallpaper.png"
USESYSTEMLOCALE="true"

30_kubuntu_default_settings (is there since I've selected to use the kubuntu theme without the userlist):
THEME="/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu-no-userlist"
USEBACKGROUND="true"
USESYSTEMLOCALE="true"
USETHEME="true"
WALLPAPER="/usr/share/wallpapers/kubuntu-wallpaper.png"

Could you check your permissions on the abovementioned files and report
that back please.
