Description Phil! Gold 2013-12-18 21:16:13 UTC
Description of problem:

I have `user-session` set to a specific session on my system, but when I use the Razor greeter it defaults to the first session (sorted alphabetically by name), not the configured one.


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

lightdm-1.8.5-2.fc20.x86_64
lightdm-razorqt-0.5.2-13.fc20.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install several desktop environments on a system.
2. Set lightdm.conf to use a different DE than the one listed first in the greeter menu.
3. Set lightdm.conf to use the Razor greeter.
4. Start LightDM.


Actual results:

The default desktop environment is the first one in the list.


Expected results:

The default desktop environment should be the one configured in the lightdm.conf file.


Additional info:

Here's what my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file has in it:

    [LightDM]
    minimum-vt=1
    user-authority-in-system-dir=true
    
    [SeatDefaults]
    xserver-command=X -background none
    greeter-session=lightdm-razor-greeter
    greeter-hide-users=true
    greeter-show-manual-login=true
    user-session=mate
    allow-guest=false
    session-wrapper=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession
    
    [XDMCPServer]
    enabled=false
    
    [VNCServer]
    enabled=false

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2013-12-18 23:02:29 UTC
I believe that setting is deprecated and not used if using accountsservice (which we do in fedora)

Comment 2 Phil! Gold 2013-12-19 01:55:36 UTC
The KDE and GTK greeters both honor that setting, even with AccountsService in use.  If it's officially deprecated (is that documented online anywhere?  I can't find anything with my searches), I'll see about taking a different approach to things.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2014-02-20 13:50:57 UTC
OK, lets send this over to razor then, if that's the only greeter not respecting user-session properly.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:02:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:36:35 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
