Description

I've reproduced and addressed this issue in 2.28.1-24.fc12 marking modified Adding to blocker list so it gets on the appropriate radars. as stated on IRC, my opinion is this is not sufficiently serious to be a blocker and not even serious enough to touch gdm code to fix, at this late stage. clicking 'cancel' on the only available user on the live CD is a pretty weird thing to do, and the impact of the bug is not terrible. I won't protest if the decision goes the other way, though. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers First impressions are important. The login screen of the live cd is something a new users sees even before the installer. There seemed to be a loose consensus (modulo adamw) on irc at the time that this should get tagged and go in if we need to respin for other reasons, but not force a respin on its own. For reference, the change in question is:

* a bit so we can share code with timed login.

- if (!login_window->priv->timed_login_enabled) {
+ if (strcmp (service_name, "gdm-autologin") != 0) {
g_debug ("GdmGreeterLoginWindow: Okay, we'll start the session anyway,"
"because the user isn't ever going to get an opportunity to"
mclasen: but they don't see this bug unless they pick a user account and then hit cancel, which is a rather unusual operation. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers I think this got tagged, didn't it? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers yup |
