Arch Linux

Could you please be more verbose? I don't have such errors in my log neither do I find those icons.

yes!

I'm a beginner, got the binaries and try...
I don't make any change on the configuration.
I login in the system from another computer and make a connection with ssh, or I login with the console tty1.
I get a look at the file:
/var/log/daemon.log and see
===
Mar 20 19:00:29 falun-a kdm_greet[2301]: Cannot open default user face
===
it comes each time the greeter ist starting again.

I just download the kdebase with:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase
and get the revision 945531
I take a look to
kdebase/workspace/kdm/README
and found (only the important lines for my question)

KDM's file system layout
${kde_datadir} is usually ${prefix}/share/apps
${kde_datadir}/kdm/faces/*.face{,.icon}

in the sources I found:
kfrontend/genkdmconf.c: ASPrintf( &olddir, "%s/share/apps/kdm/faces", oldkdepfx );
kfrontend/genkdmconf.c: ASPrintf( &oldpic, "%s/default1.png", facesrc );
kfrontend/genkdmconf.c: ASPrintf( &oldpic, "%s/root1.png", facesrc );

The directory and the files are not i the binary-distribution.
If I make the directory and add the files ... I don't get any more error-message

Take a look at:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=8540

and you get some icons.

I open a bug at KDE:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=8540

where I get the answer:
"a "make install" from source will do that. file a bug with your distribution."

What do you think about that?
Thanks, guy

Could you point me to the bugreport at bugs.kde.org? The point is that "make install" is just used here. The images are installed under /usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/. Maybe its no bug at all and kdm is just looking for icons in a location that was used in earlier KDE versions. The error message is missleading though.

Hello!

I have done a wrong "paste" about the bugreport. This is the right one:
