New User Login - KDM Lockup

Hello

I installed LEAP (network, KDE, no auto login) on a new PC and was pleasantly surprised by the performance and polish. Thank You to my favorite Distro.

Then I encountered the following issue.

I created a new user with YAST having a password “password”, acknowledged that I did want to use that token, and checked the box to force a new password on initial login. I then: locked the session (right click on desktop and select lock), clicked on “New Session”, selected the new user, and typed in the password. I expected a popup or prompt to change the password but instead KDM “locked up”. I could switch desktops (CTL-ALT-Fx) but could not get a response from the interface and the new users desktop would not open. Long story short, the KDM interface “locked up” whenever I tried to login to the new account.

Finally I logged in as root, su to the new account, and was prompted for the new password. The KDM interface worked thereafter.

I’m putting this here so that, hopefully, it will find its way into the correct hands.

Regards

Chris LaRocque.

Hi, welcome

I can login as a different user ( even on a different DE ) from the Plasma5 desktop. It auto-locks the desktop that I start the new session from, shows the SDDM (:D, plasma5 doesn’t use kdm ) login screen and off the user goes. Try disabling the password feature you set in Yast and see if things work properly that way
