KDE3.2 greeter plugin
Hi, I upgraded to KDE 3.2 without much hassle, yet there is one problem I can't find a solution for. When i try to lock the screen it fails saying: "Will not lock the screen, as unlocking would be impossible: No appropriate greeter plugin configured." I've searched for a way to configure greeter plugins but I cannot find anything about them. I hope somebody here can point me at the right place to get locking working.

You are so damn right - this was at least a solution for KDE 3.1.4 I had -dpi 75 in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, but 100dpi in xserverrc. Now i changed (still KDE 3.1.4) all to 100 dpi and started X -> Fonts are ugly like on screenshots (the right side). In this 100dpi mode Helvetica [Adobe] in 9pt is too big and 8pt to small. So i changed all to 75dpi and now all is fine. Of couse i had increase font heights about 3pt (9pt>12pt) so in 75dpi mode now all looks like on the left screenshots but with pt set to 12/11 instead 9/8. I will now upgrade to KDE 3.2.0 again and let you know if this solved my font issues. ... who knows there are 2 config files for dpi settings ... *damn* Marcel. -- http://debian.thermoman.de/

Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.
When I start KDE I see an error message "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." I searched the mailing lists, and saw this problem before http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2003/debian-kde-200310/msg00150.html It was supposed to be fixed in xrender (0.8.3-2), but I have libxrender1 (0.8.3-5) installed. Is this the same xrender problem, or a different bug? I started seeing this when I upgraded to http://download.kde.org/stable/3.2/Debian Please cc me in your reply. Thanks, Shaun

Re: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.
It looks like libfreetype6 is indeed the problem. It's funny I didn't have this problem with kde 3.1.2 though. startkde: Starting up... kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. The culprit definitely seems to be libfreetype6, which I have installed from testing because I am running Xfree86 4.2.1. libfreetype62.1.7-2 install ok installed libfreetype62.0.9-1 stable libfreetype62.1.7-2 testing libfreetype6/testing uptodate 2.1.7-2 So it seems kde 3.2 (from download.kde.org) conflicts with libfreetype6 2.1.7-2. Is it possible to run Xfree86 4.2.1 and KDE 3.2 on the same system? Please cc me in your reply.

Re: "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again."
Hello, after the upgrade kde 3.1.4 -> 3.2 and the error: kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. I cleaned my installation of KDE 3.2 (--purge and I manually removed /etc/kde3 and /etc/kde3rc) and I reinstalled kde 3.1.4 But now I obtain the same error !!! I can't understand ... Now I'm exactly in the previous situation. System: woody + xfree 4.3 and other few packages (from backport) + kde (from kde.org) (no testing, no unstable). libfreetype6: 2.1.7-0.backports.org.1 Bye. __ Tiscali ADSL SENZA CANONE: Attivazione GRATIS, contributo adesione GRATIS, modem GRATIS, 50 ore di navigazione GRATIS.
