[Bug 315484] Re: gdm CustomCommandNoRestart documentation confusing
There is no bug in gdm, but only a confusing option (CustomCommandNo_Restart_ which _exits_ gdm when false) that should be renamed or at least documented in the config file properly (it is documented right now, but somewhat confusing). Maybe this is an upstream bug. ** Summary changed: - gdm crashes on execution of Custom Command + gdm CustomCommandNoRestart documentation confusing ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gdm Hi, found a problem that arouse recently with both Gutsy and Intrepid (worked some day last year in gutsy): When configuring a custom command in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom in the [customcommand] section via CustomCommand[0-9]=/some/command (tested with own shell script, and with /usr/bin/yes) gdm crashes when the command is picked from the actions-menu. It shows the ubuntu splash screen, but nothing happens. Attached the syslog with debugging enabled for gdm. However, the command is executed (/usr/bin/yes used one full CPU). There is an easy workaround: If you enable the CustomCommandNoRestart option via adding CustomCommandNoRestart[0-9]=true (default is false) to gdm.conf-custom, gdm does not crash anymore. If you need more information, a backtrace, tests on vanilla Ubuntu installations or whatever, don't hesitate to ask Thanks, Mika + + == Update == + Without CustomCommandNoRestart gdm exits upon execution of the custom command. I guess the idea is, that all custom commands deal somehow with Restarting the machine or similar where it is a good idea to exit gdm. + However, in Intrepid and Gutsy there is no hint that gdm has exited - this hint can be seen in Jaunty (it says something along the lines of The system is being shut down). + Thus I propose to clarify the documentation, see my comment below. -- gdm CustomCommandNoRestart documentation confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315484 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

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME) ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium = Low ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New ** Also affects: gdm Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gdm CustomCommandNoRestart documentation confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315484 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 315484] Re: gdm CustomCommandNoRestart documentation confusing
Hm, I am actually not sure anymore if GNOME is the right place to report it. I couldn't find the gdm.conf-custom file in the GNOME gdm sources (maybe I just don't find it, but maybe it is not there). Could it be, that gdm.conf-custom and especially the documentation therein is instead added by Debian? -- gdm CustomCommandNoRestart documentation confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315484 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
