[Bug 290509] Re: gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm
I use krunner with the "Desktop Sessions" feature. Just type "New Session" or "Switch User" or something like that. -- gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is still a problem.

[Bug 290509] Re: gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm
Is it possible to add functionality to kdm-gdmcompat to cover this? Surely kdm can do what gdm can do, and a bridge could be included in the kdm-gdmcompat package? -- gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290509] Re: gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm
This happens in Jaunty too. I installed KDE4 to test it out, put KDM instead of GDM and Gnome begins behaving weird. 1) The mentioned user switcher applet (A problem since this is the only GUI way to log out now) 2) NM continuously asks for passwords in both KDE and GNOME Restoring GDM fixes all this, but not everyone is going to know this. -- gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 290509] Re: gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm
** Description changed: - ***summary*** Every user that will set KDM as login manager, will see an error message because user switching applet will die (since it is incompatible with KDM apparently). This is bad! To show error message (application crash) to each user. Quick fix: at least just make nicer error message like "This applet is not currently compatible with KDM." and disable restarting it! Binary package hint: gnome-applets The new user switcher applet in Intrepid (the one that replaces the logout button) is causing problems when kdm is set as the login manager. The user switcher applet isn't drawn, and an error dialog (see attached screenshot) with the following text appear immediately after login: "User switcher" has quit unexpectedly If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel. The dialog provides two buttons, "Don't Reload" and "Reload". Clicking "Reload" doesn't bring the applet back -- it just brings up the same dialog. Clicking "Don't Reload" makes the dialog go away, but the user is still left without the applet. Switching the login manager to gdm does not automatically bring the applet back, however after switching to gdm the applet can be added to the panel manually. The fact that the switching users in Gnome doesn't work with kdm isn't so bad (and it's the same situation we had in Gutsy). The following are real problems: 1. vague error message 2. absence of a logout button 3. applet doesn't automatically return if the user switches back to gdm Here's what I think ought to happen if the user sets kdm as the login manager: 1. The first Gnome login after the switch, a notification tells the user that user switching won't work without gdm, and offers to switch the login manager back to gdm. 2. The applet is drawn the same way (with the user's name and a functioning logout button), but clicking on it doesn't provide the option of switching users. 3. The ability to switch users automatically returns if the login manager is switched back to gdm. EDIT: Sorry, forgot package versions. I'm using October 28's Intrepid daily-live, the x86 version. gnome-applets 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 gdm 2.20.8-0ubuntu3 kdm 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu12 ** Tags removed: fail kde kdm -- gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290509] Re: gnome user switcher applet doesn't work with kdm
Thanks LanoxxthShaddow for the comment, I second that. Also, who can change the priority? It should be at least Medium! Because every user that will try to use kde *will* see this error message - and will think, oh my god, they failed again. ** Description changed: + + ***summary*** + + Every user that will set KDM as login manager, will see an error message because user switching applet will die (since it is incompatible with KDM apparently). + This is bad!
