Hide Forgot
Description of problem: On boot, the banner is present. Enter a username (valid or invalid), enter a bad password twice. The login page resets, requesting a username again, but without the banner. This same thing can be seen by entering a username (valid or invalid) and then clicking "cancel". Login banner works well until the screen shield starts and rolls down a clock and date display. After that the banner is gone. Also it prompts twice for username. Restarting gdm returns the banner. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.8.4-28.el7_0.1.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.8.4-32.el7_0.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set login banner in RHEL7 2. Enter a username (valid or invalid), enter a bad password twice. Or Enter username (valid or invalid) and then click "cancel". Or Wait for screen shield(screen losk) to start. 3. After that the banner is gone. Actual results: Banner disappears Expected results: Banner should not disappear and it should not ask twice for username. Additional info: Tried to disable lock-screen using dconf-editor and gsettings to workaround this issue: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true Also tried gnome-shell extensions: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/730/curtains-up/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/672/disable-screen-shield/ But nothing worked.
