Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
In Xubuntu x64 8.04 with gnome-system-tools 2.22.0 :
In services settings, if I uncheck gdm, some things are broken whereas it is
supposed to just "allow users to login locally" :
Of course it deactivate graphical login as one would expect, but also breaks
user switching, and graphical authentication.
This is a big problem because graphical authentication is required to unlock
services pannel, necessary step to reactivate gdm service.
>From this point command line is required to rollback the action.
If you want details, I can do it again but it would be nice to give me
first the command line to activate gdm service (I'm not a Debian guy so
far, more a RedHat one), since it was a pain to fix the problem last
time...
I think this option (deactivating gdm service) should just deactivate
graphical login as stated, or at least warn that it will stop other
functionnalities, and won't be rollable back graphically.
