I just upgraded my suse 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?

With all of the openSuSE builds you can change your Login Manager. With openSuSE 9.1-11.4 this can be modified from inside of Configure Desktop -> Advanced Tab -> Login Manager.

There may have been some changes with KDM, or they may have changed which Login Manger is being used in openSuSE 12.1(I have not yet installed this version as it is new and sure to have a couple of bugs).

First you will want to login as root. Then access the Login Manager from Configure Desktop tool and try making some adjustments and see what happens. Please keep in mind that they just released 12.1 and there might be some bugs.

As root and as user I changed a a lot (three) things but nothing change :-))

You may have found a bug in 12.1 that has not been addressed yet. That is the one problem with "New" releases that no one knows until it happens. If changing the Theme from Configure Desktop didn't change anything you may try making the changes through YaST and /etc/sysconfig tool. From with-in this tool navigate to Display Manager and you should be able to make some changes there... But it sounds like this is a possible bug

I don´t know if its still useful or not.
Please look at this thread:

I haven´t tested it yet but I intend to.

Yes, many thanks, it works, I tested on suse 12.1, the only annoying is that every update I have to reapply :-)

I´m changing the configuration through /etc/sysconfig editor
I have tested it on two machines and it survived several updates.
Have you you tried this method ?

In 12.1, they changed the default kdm theme that doesn't let you have users displayed on the screen. Look through the kdm settings with root permission under the KDE control center to change the theme to one that supports showing the users. I'm not sure exactly where it is, or which theme will help, but I know it has something to do with how they changed it.
