* debian/patches/42_no_ecryptfs_autologin.patch: - don't try to get infos on null usernames (lp: #805154) -- Ryan Tandy <rta...@sd63.bc.ca> Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:33:30 -0800 ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805154 Title: gdm-simple-slave crashed with SIGSEGV in _nss_compat_getpwnam_r() Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gdm” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “gdm” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: SRU justification: [Impact] * With automatic login enabled in /etc/gdm/custom.conf, gdm crashes instead of logging in, and doesn't respawn, dropping to a text console instead. [Test Case] * install gdm and choose it as the default display manager at the debconf prompt * create /etc/gdm/custom.conf with contents: [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=some-username (where "some-username" is a user on the system) * Reboot (or stop the previous display manager and start gdm) * In gdm in precise-updates, instead of logging in, gdm crashes, the system drops to a text console, and a gdm-simple-slave segfault is recorded in dmesg. [Regression Potential] * Minimal. The change consists only of adding a missing NULL parameter check. Original description: Chrash happend while trying to change a desktop-icon. Searching the icon in a hidden folder ".xxxx" in the user directory.
