Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Hi, when time permits, could you please backport from Lucid to Karmic
GDM's patch for bug #463376?
The bug is about GDM's PostLogin/Default script.
In Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) when you log in as, say, "somename", you get
proper values inside /etc/PostLogin/Default for these vars.:
$USERNAME --> somename
$LOGNAME --> somename
$HOME --> /home/somename
But in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) you get instead these values:
$USERNAME --> gdm
$LOGNAME --> gdm
$HOME --> /var/lib/gdm
It seems that this is fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 too, but I haven't tested it
yet.
Having these vars. and others set up correctly for using them in the
script /etc/PostSession/Default is badly needed for admins that want to
clear $HOME upon login, for example in a shool computer lab (as is our
case here).
Bug #463376 is where the patch for Lucid was posted; bug #506972 is
where the request to backport to Karmic was originally done by Manuel
Iglesias.
