[SOLVED] [KDE] Can't unlock screensaver

Post by Assgier » Sat Nov 12, 2005 12:27 am

Hi,

After upgrading from KDE 3.4.1 to 3.4.3 on my laptop (which is working perfectly), i few days ago finally decided to also put my good old KDE 3.3.1 to rest on my desktop system and upgrade to kde-meta 3.4.3...

First i emerge -C'ed all old KDE tools from my system (which where installed using the good old KDE-ebuilds system) and after that i emerged kde-meta (using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86", if i'm finally going to upgrade i wanted to really upgrade to the latest 3.4.x version :P).
After a while all got installed OK and, what's most important, KDE is working fine! Except for one thing, since upgrading to 3.4.3 i'm unable to unlock my screen after locking it...

To make things clear i made a snapshot of it: http://members1.chello.nl/~p.pieters6/p ... unlock.png

If i then go to /dev/ttyX (ctrl+alt+fX), log in as myself (same user as i'm logged in with at KDE) there are no problems killing the kdesktop_lock process so it's not a chmod thing...
PAM is not outputting anything to syslog about it, which makes it hard to find out what could be the cause...
Also the fact that logging in using KDM is working just fine makes this a strange something...

Some outputs which may become handy:

Code: Select all

kornelis@Jezus /etc/pam.d $ cat kde
#%PAM-1.0

auth       include      system-auth
auth       required     pam_nologin.so

account    include      system-auth

password   include      system-auth

session    include      system-auth
kornelis@Jezus /etc/pam.d $ cat kde-np
#%PAM-1.0

auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       required     pam_permit.so

account    include      system-auth

password   include      system-auth

session    include      system-auth
kornelis@Jezus /etc/pam.d $
Just the defaults, same as on my laptop :)

I've been searching this forum as well as google but couldn't find anything helpful, it seems i'm the only one on this planet having this problem (getting used to that tough) ;)
One link on Google was from an Ubuntu user who had the same problem, but his problem appeared to be caused by wrong chmod settings on /etc/shadow... So i tried to chmod 666 /etc/shadow* but it didn't work... Ofcourse afterwards i put it back to 600 :)

Does anyone happen to have any clues or tips about what could be the problem here? Anything i could have a check on? Important tools needed to have unlocking working?

If any more information is needed, i'd ofcourse be happy to provide it :)

Thanks in advance...

I solved the problem after a forum post of Lethe on the KDE-forum (http://www.kde-forum.org/thread.php?postid=55279)...

He had the same problem and solved it by chown'ing and chmodding the kcheckpass binary (which should be in /usr/kde/3.4/bin/), after i checked it, the complete binary seemed to be missing :o

Afterwards i checked portage for kcheckpass and it seemed that it wasn't installed at all, after emerging it the problem has been solved :)

Topictitle has been edited :)
