Public bug reported: when you edit /etc/gdm/greeter.gsettings > org.gnome.login-screen > disable-user-list=true it has no effect.
when you run "sudo gsettings set org.gnome.login-screen disable-user- list true" it has no effect. The only way I have been able to get a user to not show up in the user list has been to set the uid < 1000. This is a horrible hack and not viable. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 gdm: Installed: 3.6.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.6.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.6.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072838 Title: GDM 3 disable-user-list=true does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1072838/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
