Description of problem: GDM in F21 is missing a dconf profile, /etc/dconf/profile/gdm. Without this, any settings in /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d have no effect. The gdm package should also create and own the gdm.d directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.14.1-1.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file with settings under /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d 2. Observe as settings have no effect 3. Create /etc/dconf/profile/gdm with proper contents and things work Regards, -trond
This seems to be an intended change of the gdm developers. https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=feb6ddaff33a3e58a20e94264313322534963f98 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722241 I think this change is not an error, but there should be a description and an example how to adapt the gdm configuration by an administrator (e.g. to hide the list of users). Not all people know who to create a dconf configuration in /etc/dconf/ - and first you have to know that this is the place to put configuration changes in. This bug describes the same problem as bug #1185056.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
