hw to have a login screen with 4 users in 12.1

I just upgraded my 11.4 to 12.1 and everything went well, for now, but in 11.4 I had 4 users and in the login screen all the users was shown, each one had a symbol, click on one of them, insert password and go, now in 12.1 I cannot see all the users at the login screen, how to have a login screen with all the 4 users visibles with their symbols?? like in 11.4?

You will have to at least say which login manager. The main two are kdm and
gdm.

The standard installed with 11.2 KDE, I suppose it is kdm.

Hi pier_andreit:
How many users do you see displayed?
Did you back everything up BEFORE performing the upgrade?
Did you have /home in a separate partition?
What method of upgrade did you use (zypper up, zypper dup, complete re-install from DVD)? That will affect whether the user accounts (and data) were saved or not. If your using KDE and the user accounts were saved you should be able to go to :Configure Desktop > Login Screen > Users and set them up. If the user accounts were not saved, they will have to be recreated.

HTH, Tom

now one user displayed, but is not as before, if I click on that user the window with the user name isn’t filled with the user name, I have to write the username I want to use, and it will stay there if I restart until I change it

yes, but everything went well and I didn’t need of restore anything

yes

zypper refresh
zypper update from here:

the data are there, I can use other users fairly

the user account are ok, but in 11.4 I had my four users in the login screen, now not, I went to :Configure Desktop > Login Screen, changed something, theme, and other things, modified users to be showed, but nothing changed in my login screen

Follow the steps, you will get your kdm user list
openSUSE 12.1 SUSE KDM Login Screen User Listing - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thaaaaaaankssssss :-)), it works now :slight_smile:
