Mageia forum

Hi. Just finished my second Mageia install, one on a laptop with one user running KDE and one dektop with 5 users. THe laptop is sweet but the desktop is confusing me. I set the system up and on boot it logs in as me with no password request. When I run the login screen settings program the unlock button won't unlock so I can't change this behaviour. If I log out I can then log in as any of the other 4 users fine but I don't want the system to login as me each time it reboots. Not the most secure of setups as you can see
I have tried running the settings as root to no avail and I am now stumped. Can anyone give a suggestion?
Thanks
Mark

In KDE System Settings indeed go to the Login Screen, and the tab "Convenience".
Be assured "Enable Auto-Login" is not enabled, that should fix it.

Autologin is normally enabled in MCC -> Boot -> Set up autologin to automatically log in

You can do it both ways.
But as a general remark: The MCC option has to be there anyway for people who do not use KDE, so why is KDE providing this redundancy? The KDE settings should stick to those settings which are related to KDE, nothing more.

- because we're using kdm (KDE Display Manager) as "login screen", KDE provides a mean of setting up his own login manager, it would be bad not to have those options there, don't you think?

Not when they are redundant with the settings in MCC for this, which is bad.

Setting up the looks of kdm has nothing to do with the system function "login / no login". Besides, "no login" doesn't even display kdm.
