Public bug reported:
Hello,
I am testing out what will become Ubuntu 20.04, and features that are
useful or simply mandatory in an enterprise environment currently do not
work.
These features are the ability to utilize a login banner, as well as
disable the user list on the login screen.
For instance, even after enabling org.gnome.login-screen -> banner-
message-enable and setting banner text via org.gnome.login-screen ->
banner-message-text, there is no banner text present on the login
screen. If you blink, you can maybe see it for a split second upon
submitting the user's password, but this is not at all useful for
scenarios where a user must comply with certain terms before logging
into a workstation.
Also, it seems that org.gnome.login-screen -> disable-user-list
currently has no effect, as it will always show my user when starting
the machine, instead of having an empty username field that must be
populated.
Either these are bugs, or there is some new way to achieve this
functionality. If there is a new way to achieve this functionality,
please let me know and then close this issue. Otherwise, I think that
this all needs addressed. This used to work before the recent
login/lock screen changes that were brought in when GNOME 3.36 was
brought into the build. (Although my output below says that GNOME shell
is 3.35.91, actually.)
Some more details:
I am currently using the 2020-03-08 daily-live ISO from
cdimage.ubuntu.com .
