Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
On my fastest system (i980x booting from SSD), the GDM user list alway
comes up blank after a machine restart. By 'blank', I mean that 'Other'
is the only user in the list.
If I ctrl-alt-1 out to a terminal session and restart the gdm service,
the list comes up properly. I'm not sure what GDM does in the
background to retrieve the user list, but it certainly feels as if it's
running into a race condition with some other process - and is trying to
retrieve the user list before that process is available.
I don't believe this problem was present on the same machine in Natty,
but it's been a while since I used GDM regularly (Neither KDM nor
LightDM seem to suffer the same problem on the same machine).
I know we're switching to LightDM, but it's got a few problems
/unsupported-features right now so some people may be using GDM for a
while.
