Description Michal Domonkos 2015-01-22 13:00:24 UTC

Description of problem:
When a user logs in using a smartcard and picks a session other than the default "gnome classic", the user's pick will be remembered for the next login, which is correct (fixed in bug 1159056).  However, the item preselected in the session menu that unfolds by clicking on the gears button would not correspond to the remembered pick and would always be "gnome classic".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.8.4-32.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert a smartcard
2. On the PIN prompt select "gnome" from the session menu
3. Log in
4. Log out

Actual results:
The PIN prompt has "gnome classic" preselected.

Expected results:
The PIN prompt should have "gnome" preselected.

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-01-22 15:19:45 UTC

we actually don't know the username until after you enter the pin so we can't show the session associated with the user.

It should have no bullet at all, not a bullet on "gnome". can you reconfirm that you see a bullet by gnome classic?

Comment 2 Michal Domonkos 2015-01-22 15:23:53 UTC

Oh, I didn't realize that.  Makes sense.

However, I do confirm that a bullet is there, at "gnome classic".

Mmmh, that's not what I would expect from the code[0] though.

Comment 4 Michal Domonkos 2015-05-15 10:41:27 UTC

The bullet is still there on GNOME-3.14.

The most sane behavior I can come up with in my mind is to only show the bullet in case the user explicitly selects an item in the session menu to be used for the next login and don't show it otherwise (comment 1).
