[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1234856] Re: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm
I don't think it's acceptable to impose a behavior change in such a way that someone with a sane configuration is unable to log in after upgrading --- except through a virtual terminal or ssh in order to make further changes to the configuration after googling the problem. This is the sort of thing that is pushing people away from Ubuntu. -- 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/1234856 Title: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When running Ubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 ( with the latest updates as of 10/03/2013 ) if I disable the lightdm graphical user list, no text box is displayed to enter a username and the GUI login screen. user@ubuntu1310-i386:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf [SeatDefaults] user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false greeter-hide-users=true Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release: 13.10 lightdm: Installed: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Expected results is that a text box is displayed for entering the username / password to login.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1234856] Re: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm
lightdm (tested with 1.8.0 on Kubuntu 13.10 beta2) seems to ignore those settings in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: [SeatDefaults] user-session=kde-plasma greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter greeter-hide-users=true greeter-show-manual-login=true allow-guest=false With these settings, no user list should be displayed (which is corporate policy here) and a manual login should be displayed. Despite these settings, the user list is still displayed and no manual login is shown. Is looks as if lightdm silently ignores those settings, although the conf file is being read (see attached log). ** Attachment added: lightdm.log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1234856/+attachment/3868582/+files/lightdm.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1234856 Title: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When running Ubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 ( with the latest updates as of 10/03/2013 ) if I disable the lightdm graphical user list, no text box is displayed to enter a username and the GUI login screen. user@ubuntu1310-i386:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf [SeatDefaults] user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false greeter-hide-users=true Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release: 13.10 lightdm: Installed: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Expected results is that a text box is displayed for entering the username / password to login.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1234856] Re: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm
Hi James, There was a behaviour change in unity-greeter - now it only shows the manual login box if you can't log in using another method (in this case remote login is available, though there seems to be a bug in unity- greeter because it is unpopulated). What you need to do is configure the greeter to always show the manual login box, which can be done with the following setting: [SeatDefaults] greeter-hide-users=true greeter-show-manual-login=true ** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) = unity-greeter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1234856 Title: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When running Ubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 ( with the latest updates as of 10/03/2013 ) if I disable the lightdm graphical user list, no text box is displayed to enter a username and the GUI login screen. user@ubuntu1310-i386:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf [SeatDefaults] user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false greeter-hide-users=true Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release: 13.10 lightdm: Installed: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Expected results is that a text box is displayed for entering the username / password to login.

Hi Thomas, You should open a bug against lightdm-kde (either in the upstream tracker or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde) - it appears that the KDE greeter is not following those settings. -- 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/1234856 Title: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When running Ubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 ( with the latest updates as of 10/03/2013 ) if I disable the lightdm graphical user list, no text box is displayed to enter a username and the GUI login screen. user@ubuntu1310-i386:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf [SeatDefaults] user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false greeter-hide-users=true Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release: 13.10 lightdm: Installed: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Expected results is that a text box is displayed for entering the username / password to login.
