Can't install KDE login themes
Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2013 4:31 am
Hi, I've been trying to install a login theme I downloaded from kde-look.org, but when I try to install it through System Settings-> Login Screen -> Theme, it shows the following error.
(I replaced my actual user name with "user" in "kde-user")
Back when I used Kubuntu I didn't had these issues, I tried different solutions found on google, like starting system settings as root, but the same error appears, and also copying the extracted tar.gz files to the directory /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes, but the themes I copied does not appear. I tried installing from "Get new Themes" and only worked on root, and one of the themes I installed through "Get New Themes" could be installed manually through system settings.
I don't know what could be the problem, is there any idea of what could it be?
Thank you in advance.

There were errors while installing the following themes:
/tmp/kde-user/kdmthemesHvbC3H/Kubuntu KDM Gears (flat relief)
