Public bug reported: gdm was failing to start for me, because smarcard.desktop was missing
I use yubikey for gpg & ssh, and not for "smartcard authentication". I tried hard to not have any smartcard login on my gdm screen. I removed /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Smartcard.desktop which i think is an allowed action. I installed updates, gdm didn't start anymore because Smartcard.desktop is required to start settion and was unable to start it without it. Doing sudo apt install --reinstall -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confmiss gnome-settings-daemon ressurected ability to start gdm But also ressurected Smartcard.desktop. How do I disable gdm to not attempt smartcard logins, when my system a) is not enrolled to use or trust any smarcards via pam or anything b) it is a yubikey with gpg certs c) i want gdm to still show and allow login with locally configured user despite smartcard plugged in ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2017780 Title: gdm was failing to start for me, because smarcard.desktop was missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/2017780/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
