RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
With disable-user-list set when a banner is properly set and displayed, once the screen blanks and locks the banner is lost.
Without disable-user-list the banner is displayed normally only once a user is selected or 'Not listed?' is selected. Contrasted with disable-user-list where the banner is displayed on the initial screen.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.8.4-28.el7_0.1.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create dconf rules to disable the user-list and display a banner, also lower session idle to aide in debugging
# echo -e "[org/gnome/desktop/session]\nidle-delay=uint32 15\n\n[org/gnome/login-screen]\ndisable-user-list=true\nbanner-message-enable=true\nbanner-message-text=\"This is a banner\"\n" > /etc/dconf/db/site.d/00-test
# echo -e "/org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay\n/org/gnome/login-screen/disable-user-list\n/org/gnome/login-screen/banner-message-enable\n/org/gnome/login-screen/banner-message-text" > /etc/dconf/db/site.d/locks/00-test-locks
# dconf update
2. Reboot, notice the banner displayed on the login screen
3. Allow the screen to blank
4. Wake the login screen and notice the banner is now gone
Actual results:
Banner is lost when login screen blanks.
Expected results:
Banner is displayed when login screen returns from lock/blank.
Additional info:
Work-around: setting idle-delay to "uint32 0" for gdm and preventing the screen from blanking allows the user to login normally. However, the screen appears to never blank nor go to sleep.
Unfortunately, disabling idle-activation-enabled and lock-enabled appear to have no affect on this bug.

Apologies,
The original report includes an error from a careless cut'n'paste.
in Work-around;
"setting idle-delay to "uint32 0" for gdm and preventing the screen from blanking allows the user to login normally."
Should read;
"setting idle-delay to "uint32 0" for gdm prevents the screen from blanking and guarantees the banner will continue to display."
