Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Using the GDM fallback mode, configured to have no user list. Once the username is entered and 'log in' has been clicked, the cancel button is displayed. If the 'cancel' button is clicked, nothing more is displayed in the dialog box. No login is possible. The only thing you can now do in the interface is access the shutdown menu. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1:3.2.1.1-8.fc16 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure GDM to use fallback mode and no user list. See Bug 753447 2. Restart system 3. Enter some text into 'username' box, and click on log in 4. Click on cancel Actual results: The login dialog becomes a grey box with no buttons or text fields. The logo and the hostname are displayed; nothing else. Expected results: The login dialog box should return to the state it was when GDM started
This still happens on F17. If it hit the cancel button (e.g. I realize I typed the username wrong), gdm is effectively dead and I have to ctrl-alt-backspace to restart it.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
