Product: gdm
Component: program
Summary: bug with configuring GDM from within GDM
Product: gdm
Version: 2.4.2.102-3mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: program
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Note: this is for 102-4mdk (not in list), but was present on previous versions
in cooker leading up to 9.2.
Try to configure GDM from the GDM login screen. Press F10 in the field, or click
on "Actions". Next, choose "configure login manager" in the menu or dialog.
GDM just beeps, when it should ask for the root password. If you immediately
select the "configure" option a sescond time (via either method above), then the
root password is requested.
This is a very popular/common feature. If it had a problem in the upstream
verison, I would expect bugs to appear on bugzilla.gnome.org. However, I have
not seen any such bug. Therefore, I'm filing it here because I surmise it to
potentially be a Mandrake problem.
If you'd like, I would be happy to open a bug upstream. I just wanted to see if
you could check locally first, to rule out it being some problem specific to Mdk.
