Description Rich Boyce 2011-11-25 13:02:00 UTC

Description of problem:

Using the GDM fallback mode, configured to have no user list. Once the username is entered and 'log in' has been clicked, the cancel button is displayed. If the 'cancel' button is clicked, nothing more is displayed in the dialog box. No login is possible. The only thing you can now do in the interface is access the shutdown menu.

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

1:3.2.1.1-8.fc16

How reproducible:

every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure GDM to use fallback mode and no user list. See Bug 753447
2. Restart system
3. Enter some text into 'username' box, and click on log in
4. Click on cancel
  
Actual results:

The login dialog becomes a grey box with no buttons or text fields. The logo and the hostname are displayed; nothing else.

Expected results:

The login dialog box should return to the state it was when GDM started

This still happens on F17.  If it hit the cancel button (e.g. I realize I typed the username wrong), gdm is effectively dead and I have to ctrl-alt-backspace to restart it.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 17:19:41 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 21:53:15 UTC

Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.

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