[Bug 427067] Re: Unable to configure which users are shown in greeter
Figured out a way to make those gconf settings work, but still no way to set user list. The command to use is the following: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor For some reason, I had to launch it twice, making the change to remove the user list each time, before it remembered the change. This might be related to using close window when closing gconf, instead of exit, but I'm not sure. Anyway, log out and you will see that there is no longer a user list (but you still have to click on log in as another user to enter your user name and password). Regarding adding users to the user list, the gdm manual (http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.28/gdm.html) implies that you can. The key is supposed to be: /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/include (string list). But this key does not exist, and adding it manually does not work (mentions that they key has no schema). It is also not listed in the default schema (/usr/share/gconf/gdm-simple-greeter.schemas).

gconf-editor still shows up empty. I'm guessing this is related to
/var/lib/gdm/.gconf being empty. It seems to just use the values set in
/var/log/gdm/.gconf.{defaults,mandatory} I don't see how one goes about
adding values to an empty gconf-editor.

[Bug 427067] Re: Unable to configure which users are shown in greeter
I think the issue is that these options need to be set for the gdm user. Setting them using gconftool-2 or gconf-editor does not make the changes to the gdm user's gconf store. I even tried su gdm and running gconf- editor, but it's empty. The gdm user doen't have a store apparently, but depends only on the .gconf.defaults and .gconf.mandatory directories in /var/lib/gdm. By hand editing /var/lib/gdm/.gconf.defaults/%gconf- tree.xml I was able to disable the gdm face browser. This isn't an optimal solution, as it's prone to error. -- Unable to configure which users are shown in greeter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 427067] Re: Unable to configure which users are shown in greeter
Agreed. It's irritating that a new feature like this is foisted upon us without an easy way to change it. Not to mention that listing all users compromises security. If I'd wanted a face greeter, I would have turned it on. I'm quite happy to type in my username.

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list 'true' certainly didn't have any affect on the face greeter for me under Karmic with the latest updates. It's extremely annoying, as I really want to be able to explicitly enter userid and password, not mess about with this annoying face greeter. -- Unable to configure which users are shown in greeter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

There are multiple issues with Simple Greeter that do not abide by the gnome documentation: http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en#greeterconfiguration Amongst them (that I've tested): o /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable o /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list o /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/include o /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/exclude Perhaps /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/include will work for you (didn't for me). -- Unable to configure which users are shown in greeter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
