KDE-Forum.org

I have an old computer setup for my kid, running Fedora Core 1 linux.
I updated the kde to the newer 3.2.1 version, and everything else seems to be just fine, except that now he cannot login anymore without typing the password. I doubled checked all the configurations for KDM, and everything should be fine.
I tried to remove the password alltogether, with "passwd -d" command, and now the login without password work in console, just like it should, but in KDM, it is still asked, AND the strangest thing is, that the password that it wants, is the old one, that I had already couple of times changed, and now removed totally.
where is KDM getting these passwords from?

also, the automatic user login doesn't work with KDM. it just says authentication failed.. like the password (which was removed) would be wrong.. damn.

I tried all, different passwords, everything, no worky.
did they change something in 3.2.1 ?

anyways, I had to move to using GDM.. automatic passwordless login works like a dream, but it's a bit stupid, because the logout dialog in KDE doesn't allow shutdown now, because KDM session is not running. so my son has to pop back into GDM login, and shutdown from there.

any help on this is appreciated..thanks!

thanks for the quick answer.
actually, the passwordless login was something that was nice for my kid because of the convenience.. but actually, because he is the only user on that computer, and the computer is not even connected to internet, I think I will try to set it up for automatic login.. I couldn't make either one of them to work with KDE, together, or separate.

I'll try your trick, let's lets see what happens.

thanks again!
