So we've got a new GDM and a new GDM login screen with build 130, fine. a single window "do you want to login" is displayed with a single button "okay".
of course, I do! besides that, there is no other option one could select (like session type, reboot, halt, not even to dream about console login from dtlogin anymore...) so whats the point ? is that some imtermediate state during the migration to new GDM/X ? work in progress ? up until 130 I was at least able to replace in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf - Greeter=/usr/lib/gdmgreeter --- + Greeter=/usr/lib/gdmlogin which allowed to me at login a windowmanager session during login although I never managed to get the advertised "shutdown/reboot" menues working although I theoretically enabled them: - SystemMenu=false --- + SystemMenu=true thats all gone with new GDM apparently, the conf file as well as the binary: osoldev.batschul./usr/share/gdm.=> ls -la /usr/lib/gdmgreeter /usr/lib/gdmgreeter: No such file or directory osoldev.batschul./usr/share/gdm.=> ls -la /usr/lib/gdmlogin /usr/lib/gdmlogin: No such file or directory osoldev.batschul./usr/share/gdm.=> ls -la /usr/lib/gdm* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 9432 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-crash-logger -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 64888 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-host-chooser -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 133876 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-session-worker -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 79528 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-simple-chooser -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 383668 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-simple-greeter -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 245248 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-simple-slave -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 108820 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-user-switch-applet -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 139076 Dec 25 09:57 /usr/lib/gdm-xdmcp-chooser-slave now, GDM appears to store the session type in ~/.dmrc osoldev.batschul./export/home/batschul.=> cat .dmrc [Desktop] Session=icewm and I'm not able to select a different session anymore at all prior login. since everything is apparently so much about being linux'ish these days, will we ever get a login screen like on linux by default that enables session type selection as well as shutdown/restart selection. a bonus would be console-login of course ? using gconf-editor(1) or gconftool-2(1) for this is as worse as editing the windows registry so I'd rather abstain from such "powertools"... thanks frankB -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
