Description ptoshniw 2016-08-12 18:23:35 UTC

Description of problem:
When I try to change the lock screen wallpaper and restart the system then it becomes the desktop background.If, select any other wallpaper for lock screen then it gets to desktop background automatically after restart. If kept the default lock screen wallpaper and then restart then it is fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.14.4-37.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click and select "Change Desktop Background"
2. Select the Lock Screen wallapaper
3. Log out and login back

Actual results:
By default the desktop background changes to the same as Lock screen wallpaper which is newly selected.

Expected results:
The lock screen wallpaper which is selected should remain only for the lockscreen but should not get set as Desktop Background wallpaper

Additional info:

Just an observation : It is happening with the RHEL wallpapers ( Meaning the wallpapers displaying "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" ) as of now.

Is there any update on the issue? I am planing to move over 1000 users to RHEL 7.2 (from 7.1) and because the lock screen is set to a default background it will change all user backgrounds. Not the greatest experience, especially when they try to set the background again and it will be overwritten on next reboot with the lock screen background.

Thanks
Oliver

I can see this is fixed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741453. In which version is it fixed for RHEL 7.2?

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2016-11-07 17:38:45 UTC

The fix for this particular defect has not yet been integrated into a release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. It is currently being evaluated for inclusion in a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 synchronous update.

What is the meaning of ON_QA?  Does it mean solved or pending? Thanks a lot.

Comment 14 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-04-13 14:08:42 UTC

ON_QA means that a fix for this issue is currently committed and built, and QE is evaluating the fix to ensure it works and doesn't cause any regressions.

Comment 15 chrislf 2017-05-09 06:32:07 UTC

Thanks a lot, I am sorry about the next step, will the patch be integrated in future version? and which version it will be?

Comment 16 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-05-09 21:19:26 UTC

The fix for this issue is currently targeting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4.

The fix should be available in package gnome-shell-3.22.3-1.el7 or later.

I can change the desktop and lock screen backgrounds independently on gnome-shell-3.22.3-14.el7. Verified.

Hi Michael, just want to confirm that after restart, the lock screen background isn't rendered as the desktop background. Thank you.

Correct, multiple restarts combined with multiple different lock screens. The lock screen wallpaper was never automatically used as the desktop wallpaper.
