Description of problem: With a standard F11 install, I can't type my username, Enter, password quickly. I have to press Enter to select the first (and only) user from the list, wait a couple seconds, then type my password. I should be able to type my password immediately. Also can't find any way to change the GDM theme to something less resource intensive (no System->Administration->Login Screen or gdmgreeter program I can find). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.26.1-13.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clean install F11 2. Add only one user 3. Press Enter on the login screen and immediately start typing your password Actual results: Not all the password is accepted Expected results: The password field is ready immediately and all the typed password is accepted Additional info: Using an "nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 135M" video card with the default open source driver. The nVidia binary driver is faster, but doesn't work with kernel 2.6.30 and Fedora 11 AFAICT. There was a similar bug a while ago to disable GTK typeahead find, and I think that was fixed a few releases ago. Now the issue is still that I can't type my password.
Nope, can't find a similar bug in Red Hat or Gnome Bugzilla, so maybe I just worked around it previously and didn't report it.
Disabling the user list as per http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.26/gdm.html#greeterconfiguration gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true seems to help.
Thank you for the bug report. > Not all the password is accepted Does this happen if you wait until the editbox fully appeared and test cursor blinks? Could you provide a rough quantitative measurement of the delay? (1 or 3 or maybe 10 seconds?) Also please provide the result of such command: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
With user list disabled, the delay is about 0.5 seconds, long enough that about the first two letters of my password are not registered. With user list enabled (default), the delay is even longer. Oddly, the same delay happens between pressing Enter on the Other... list item that appears that gets me to the Username prompt with disable_user_list=true, but all the keypresses in my username are properly registered, albeit with a typeahead find box appearing briefly. CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz.
Usin slim now. It's much faster. http://slim.berlios.de/
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. 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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
