GDM hangs when cancelling ldap user login
Last modified: 2015-03-05 08:21:55 EST
Description of problem: - gdm hangs when attempting to cancel a login from an LDAP user with user list disabled Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - RHEL 7 - gdm-3.8.4-28.el7_0.1 How reproducible: - intermittent - does not seem reproduceable with local or root users Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter user name at GDM login screen and press enter 2. type password (incorrect, correct or partial) and click Cancel 3. GDM hangs Actual results: - GDM hang Expected results: - Return to GDM login screen Additional info: This issue has been reported in the following external bugs: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1280217 - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724532
To disable the user list: Create `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-custom` with the following contents: [org/gnome/login-screen] disable-user-list=true Afterwards run `dconf update` to make the above setting live.
looks like we need to just release the hold when erroring, but this is a gnome-shell bug not a gdm bug.
So comment 3 was a little off. The holds are only currently being used for timed login, so they aren't the issue at hand. It's actually just the login dialog disabling the widgets but never enabling them again. Normally they get reenabled when the authprompt is hidden, but it's never hidden with disable-user-list. I did notice one other issue related with network logon while I was debugging things: AuthPrompt.MessageType is undefined I corrected that at the same time. Should be all set
