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.

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-07-14 03:17:36 UTC
So i looked into this this evening, and it seems a lot more dire than comment 0.  I don't know if that's because gdm has been rev'd since that comment or if it's just a timing issue, but on my laptop timed login doesn't seem to work at all after cancel. It gets into a sort of deranged state where you can do anything anymore.

There were a few bugs that together made this happen.  I've corrected them and it should be better in gdm-2.30.4-7.el6.

marking MODIFIED and moving from exception to blocker given how much more serious the bug seems to be than I originally thought.

Comment 5 Radek Lat 2010-08-19 09:12:05 UTC
Tested and Verified on gdm-2.30.4-21.el6.x86_64, problem seems to be no longer present.

Comment 6 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 20:28:08 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
