I want to re-iterate how significant this is. We have an Edubuntu install in an elementary school. They were accustomed to logging in with their usernames and passwords. Because kids make mistakes, they often enter their username wrong. If a child enters their ussername incorrectly, then they lose nearly a minute of class time while entering their password 3 times in order to return to the login screen to re-enter their username. This is a *critical* *bug* that is undermining an otherwise successful installation. Its presence denies the teacher the most fundamental right in a classroom - to correct a mistake. "Teacher, my workstation is not logging in." "Did you enter your username correctly" "I don't know. It's gone." "Well, enter your password right 3 times, then you can see if you did." I have dug through documentation and googled all I can, but I cannot see how to change the default login behavior. I am watching teachers lose precious class time helping the students with this. After 4 years of the K12LTSP, this is becoming a show-stopper for them. > > Thanks, > > > --scott -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
