Non packaging contributions are also welcome: - bug triage - testing - improve the documentation (wiki) - improve the tools the team is using for i.e track updates - So feel free to join the team or ask questions if you have any, you can usually find people on this list or on the #ubuntu-desktop IRC channel -- Sebastien Bacher -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
AW: Login and lock screen dialog should be the same
Just for my grasp: pre lightdm is 11.04 and earlier ? lightdm is since 11.10 ? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Steffen Holanger [mailto:holanger.stef...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 7. Dezember 2011 22:31 An: t...@prosts.info Betreff: Re: Login and lock screen dialog should be the same I see your point but at the same time I disagree. As I pointed out I think it is important to give Ubuntu a feel of being whole. If I am not mistaken the old login (pre lightdm) used to be the same as lock screen. I think this is important because Ubuntu would feel more professional and not like some OS just put together by random pieces. Making it possible to see if others are loged on or not in the lightDM login screen should not be a huge task/problem eighter. this could be done by eg. high lighting the user(s) that might be loged in already. An alternative might be to make it possible for users to choose between same login and lock screens or make them different. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
AW: Login and lock screen dialog should be the same
I´m accordant to what alourie wrote on the 25 Oct There's benefit to this difference. When I see a login screen, I immediately know that noone is logged to the machine and thus I have the full local processing power for me. But when I see a screen lock dialog I know that there might be running other time-critical processes, that prevent me from doing my jobs really without delay on this machine - or I might be disturbing someones work, so I go ahead to another one or login somewhere remote - a view off a single user system ...
