This functionality does not exist in current versions of LightDM. + + [Test Case] + 1. Install a session that supports in session greeter + 2. Log into that session + 3. Activate greeter functionality + + Expected result: + It works + + Observed result: + The functionality is not implemented. + + [Regression Potential] + Some risk of changing existing behaviour, reduced by regression tests still passing. Functionality is only enabled for sessions that opt-in to this behaviour so additional security risks is limited to new sessions. + + Original description: + We talked about this in person in Prague. Ideally a greeter could run as in the user's session and act as a lockscreen for the user as well as a way to authenticate/log-in as other users. This would let us avoid running a whole other session for the greeter on the phone, which is memory intensive. It might be easiest for unity8 if that API was still just liblightdm, just running in a special mode. But I'm not picky on how it's done. There may be security questions around this. I asked Jamie and Tyler about it, I'll post any concerns from them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
