KDE 4.5.95 - [kde-unstable] - KDM Problem

Hello,

i have upgraded my KDE 4.5.5 to 4.5.95, after that my KDM does not work.

/var/log/kdm.log:

QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Serif,20,5,0,50,0'
QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Sans Serif,10,5,0,50,0'
QFont::fromString: Invalid description 'Sans Serif,10,5,0,75,0'
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdm_greet: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdm_greet: undefined symbol: _ZN15KGlobalSettings8activateE6QFlagsINS_14ActivateOptionEE

Any Idea?

I got this Message: "warning: /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc installed as /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.pacnew" so i jused the new config file:

mv /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.bak
mv /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.pacnew /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

Kind Regards

Re: KDE 4.5.95 - [kde-unstable] - KDM Problem

First off, one should never just use the .pacnew config when it's installed.  You should always compare the differences between the current and old files, and merge the necessary bits.  I personally don't feel too competent with vim, so I use Kompare.  That said, I didn't have that problem when I upgraded to [kde-unstable], but it looks like you could test thing out by changing the login font, as SansSerrif is the default.  I've also seen this before in other forums as a graphics card error.  Is this your whole kdm.log?  If not, paste the different error messages into Google and see what comes up; your solution might already be out there.  I haven't spent a lot of time with kdmrc, but if after researching you're still left hanging,  post both your old and new configs, as well as your kdm.log.  Someone smarter than I might be able to spot the problem (be sure to use the forum code tags).

And welcome to Arch!

in KDM under sessions just search for KDE Plasma session and log in into it and enjoy your new kde unstable.
btw,dolphin in 4.5.95 has a few bugs

Re: KDE 4.5.95 - [kde-unstable] - KDM Problem

please use the kde-unstable topic for KDE 4.6 issue.

Are you using some external lib? maybe phonon-pulse?

Paste here $ pacman -Q kdelibs kdebase-workspace

Hello,

i have tried the old kdmrc and the new one from the package.

Output with the downgraded KDE(4.5.5):

pacman -Q kdelibs kdebase-workspace
kdelibs 4.5.5-1
kdebase-workspace 4.5.5-1

Kind Regards
