[Bug 183245] New: your administrator has disallowed changing your image

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183245

           Summary: your administrator has disallowed changing your image
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs@...
        ReportedBy: yb21com@...


Version:           inconnu (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-11-generic

Under Systemsettings, "About me" section.

When i click on the image icon on the left of the user logon name (i have no
image), a message appears :
"Your administrator has disallowed".

I have the exactly same message when i try the same thing as root with the root
account.

I don't know if its KDE 4.2, Kubuntu, or the Linux kernel bug. I guess its KDE,
as changing image did work under kde 4.1.3 but not since i upgraded to 4.2.0

I can confirm this bug. I have 2 systems, both kubuntu 8.10 kernel
2.6.27-7-generic and both running KDE 4.2.1. One of those systems is able of
changing the image, the other isn't. Root doesn't work either.

Did you activated user image in KDM as root?
Login in as root, in System Settings->Advanced->Login Manager->Users->User
Image Source activate User

Indeed it does :)
The error message should give a hint to where this can be changed, because for
many KDE systems, the user who gets this message will actually be the
administrator, and he will wonder where he can grant himself the necessary
priviledges.

In addition, I wonder why we can not set the image if using it is disabled for
the KDM: The image is also used in other places (like the K-Menu), so the
picture really has nothing to do with KDM and should in no way depend on its
settings.

Got this still using Arch 4.3.1.  When using 4.1.x was allowed to change this
but on reinstall not able to any longer.  Do these two images need to be tied
together or is it possible to override them?

i encountered this bug after upgrading from Kubuntu 9.04 to Kubuntu 9.10. the
suggestion in comment #5 did not alone fix the problem, but thereafter running
the command `rm ~/.face.icon` solved it. now if i switch "User Image Source" to
"System" and then back to "User, system", i must close and reopen
systemsettings before the problem goes away, but i no longer need to run the rm
command.

I have the same issue with KDE 4.3.2 - and I can only agree to #8, I see so
reason why setting the image has anything to do with KDM. After all, that is
just one place where this image is used - and the location where it is saved is
in my home directory, so how can root decide I can't change it?
