kdm_greet[2788]: Can't open default user face
|
The default location for user faces is
/usr/share/apps/kdm/faces. There likely are no pictures stored there. Hence the error message.
If you open the Login Manager section of Control Center System Administration, you can change the preferences for the picture locations. See the User tab, User Image Source.
If you want to maintain all user login pictures in a central location, but do not have rights to
/usr/share/apps/kdm/faces or do not want to use that location for fear of future updating, you can manually change the location to somewhere that wont get clobbered during an update. I have my /usr/local directory on a separate partition and I avoid such issues with that approach.
If you want to take that route, then as root, open
/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc.
Search for the
[X-*-Greeter] section.
In that section look for the
FaceDir keyline. If the keyline does not exit, then create.
Change the option to a directory you have full control or as in my case, is located in /usr/local where I never worry about updating.

Been a long time since I looked at this infamous bug. My web page is a tad outdated with respect to file paths, but the general solution is available at
Eliminating Common Nuisance Messages. Scroll to about the middle of the page.
I hope this helps.
