Public bug reported: Using 12.04.1 I can no longer display a login warning banner or disable the user list in simple-greeter either by using gconf-editor or gconftool-2. Works in 10.04.4.
Steps to Replicate: 1) Install GDM: sudo apt-get install gdm 2) Use the following script: -- #!/bin/bash sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable true sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text " W A R N I N G ************* THIS IS A PRIVATE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
