Bug#751505: Buggy "Switch user" on the "Action Buttons" plugin
Package: xfce4-panel Version: 4.12.0-3 Followup-For: Bug #751505 Note that dm-tool is lightdm specific, so it's probably not appropriate to execute that unconditionally. One way could be to read /etc/X11/default-display-manager and run the appropriate command based on that. In the meantime, users can work around this with --- /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver #!/bin/sh exec dm-tool switch-to-greeter --- X -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-panel depends on: ii exo-utils0.10.7-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.18.0-1 ii libc62.21-9 ii libcairo21.14.6-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.6-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.106-1 ii libexo-1-0 0.10.7-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype6 2.6.1-0.1 ii libgarcon-1-00.4.0-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.32.3-1.2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.29-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-01.38.1-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii libwnck222.30.7-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util74.12.1-2 ii libxfconf-0-24.12.0-2+b1 xfce4-panel recommends no packages. xfce4-panel suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

That's a bit unfortunate, but there's actually no generic way to support that right now. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#751505: Buggy "Switch user" on the "Action Buttons" plugin
Package: xfce4-panel Version: 4.10.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hello, The "Switch User" option of the "Action Buttons" plugin assumes[0] that if gdmflexiserver is installed, then GDM is your current dm and will try to use that program to switch users. In my case, I've installed gdm3 but I'm actually using lightdm. So, when I try to switch users, xfce will complain with the following message: | Unable to start new display: | GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name | org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files The correct way of doing this in this case is, I think, that "Switch User" calls "dm-tool switch-to-greeter" instead of "gdmflexiserver". [0] http://sources.debian.net/src/xfce4-panel/4.10.1-1/plugins/actions/actions.c#L861 Thanks in advance. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-panel depends on: ii exo-utils 0.10.2-3 ii libatk1.0-0 2.12.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-1 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.2-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-20.102-1 ii libexo-1-0 0.10.2-3 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libfreetype62.5.2-1 ii libgarcon-1-0 0.2.1-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.7-1 ii libglib2.0-02.40.0-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.23-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libpango1.0-0 1.36.3-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libwnck22 2.30.7-1 ii libx11-62:1.6.2-2 ii libxext62:1.3.2-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.10.0-5 ii libxfce4util6 4.10.1-1 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.10.0-2 ii multiarch-support 2.19-1 xfce4-panel recommends no packages. xfce4-panel suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
