workaround: It is possible to use "greeter-setup-script" and "session-setup- script" with lightdm . This allows a user ro run a scrip to pop-up a dialog via zenity to present a information dialog.
----------------------------------------------------- $ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ... # greeter-setup-script = Script to run when starting a greeter (runs as root) # session-setup-script = Script to run when starting a user session (runs as root) session-setup-script = /usr/bin/motorola ----------------------------------------------------- $ cat /usr/bin/motorola #!/bin/sh # # This is a example of what can be done zenity --info --text Hi # kIll gnome/unity session killall -9 gnome-session ----------------------------------------------------- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097053 Title: Login Banner Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Invalid Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This is not a bug report. This is a feature request. Many businesses, governmental agencies / organizations, and universities require a login banner to be displayed upon login as part of security policy. In previous versions of Ubuntu, the desktop used GDM, which supported login banners. Unfortunately, lightdm and unity-greeter do not support login banners. As a result, administrators who wish to deploy current versions of Ubuntu on their networks must do a custom install of gdm and related configurations in order to meet this security requirement. This adds an extra workload for the administrator, as they must perform the software swap, test the configurations, and run any remaining commands to enable the banner message. It is also lessens the ability to rebuild or reproduce a machine in disaster recovery or scripted deployments. In summary, please add to the unity-greeter the ability to display a login banner.
