Due to security reasons I want to disable the face login in F15 on all laptops / netbooks. In previous Fedora releases, I could either manually use gconf or from command line, type: gconftool-2 –direct –config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults –type bool –set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true However, on two F15 machines (one upgraded, other fresh install) GDM seem to ignore this key completely. - Gilboa
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I also experience this. tried gconf-editor, but even with /apps/gdm/simple-greeter "disable_user_list" checked, it does not seem to change behavior. Please, someone make this high priority. It's a security issue.
well i just try the gcongtool-2 commands and it works
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 work for me, now. it did not work after F15 fresh install (something updated in the meantime?)
i m using gdm-3.0.4
Tried Red's gconf command under F16 and/or by trying to manually edit the gdm entry using gconf-editor, the user list is still displayed. Gaah. - Gilboa
Same here. I'm using GDM 3.2.1.1 and I can't find a working way to disable the user list... is this problem going to haunt as for long? :'( Please, we need to be able to configure again GDM.
My organization requires a disabled user list, and a threatening banner. For now with F16 my post-install setup script does this: mv /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gdm-shell.session /root/ cp /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gdm-fallback.session /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gdm-shell.session gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set "/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable" "true" gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set "/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text" "THIS SYSTEM IS RESTRICTED TO AUTHORIZED USERS ONLY. INDIVIDUALS ATTEMPTING UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS WILL BE PROSECUTED." gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set "/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list" "true" This disables F16's gdm-mode GNOME shell login screen in favor of traditional gdm-greeter, which does observe the gconf keys. Kind of inelegant, but it works for now, until they change things some more....
I can confirm this is also not working in Fedora 17 Alpha. gdm-3.2.1.1-14.fc17.x86_64 I will also reiterate that disabling the user-list a *vital* need.
There's the disable-user-list dconf key for org.gnome.login-screen. The shell doesn't honor this. Moving component.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660660 Is the upstream bug that has the patch
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.
