Description Jan Pihlgren 2011-12-16 05:19:11 CET

This also happends when start drakx and write the root password and then hit the Enter key.

When I use to click on the Loginbutton the loginprocedure continue as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Every time I try to login and use Enter key instead of click the loginbutton
after written the password.


Steps to Reproduce:

3. Write password
4. Hit Enter key

I'm using KDE

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2011-12-16 13:32:55 CET

GDM != GNOME
GDM = KDM = SLIM

so what you use ?

"I've switched "login manager" from KDM to XDM, but this does'nt fix this
problem.
So i think is not KDM or KDE-related..."

from napcok in the other bug.

Thierry, so not really the dm no ?

Either it's the dm or it's the session crashing immediately
