[ Didier Roche ] [ Jean-Baptiste Lallement ] * debian/patches/ubuntu/configure_login_screen.patch: Make GDM background configurable with gsettings (LP: #1929536) -- Didier Roche <didro...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 19 May 2021 15:49:17 +0200 ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu Focal) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929536 Title: [SRU] GDM background configurable with gsettings Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Focal: Fix Released Bug description: [Description] Customization of the greeter is a requirement from Corporate customers. Currently the background (plain color or image) of the greeter is hard coded in the style embedded in the theme. Customizing this background requires to extract the style sheet from gnome-shell gresource file, modify it manually, recompile and deploy the new gresource, and add an alternative to it. This feature adds 4 gsettings keys to make the background of the greeter configurable via gsettings. The default value defined the in the theme is used for keys that are not set. [Test Case] 1. Boot a desktop session 2. Verify that the default aubergine background is displayed in the greeter. 3. Login as the administrator of the machine 4. Install systemd-container 5. Switch to the GDM user: $ sudo machinectl shell gdm@ /bin/bash 6. Apply a different background with the command: $ gsettings set com.ubuntu.login-screen background-picture-uri 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png' 7. Logout 8. Verify that the image 'warty-final-ubuntu.png' is displayed as the background of the greeter. [Risks / Impact] The changeset is minimal, isolated (Only the code of the greeter is impacted by the change.) and can be easily reverted. In case of error in the code, GDM will fail to load and it will be immediately visible. [Build] Builds and tested successfully locally. Besides the updated JS is not compiled as part of build.
