Package: gdm3 Version: 3.4.1-9 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
it seems that gdm3 doesn't recover from a wrong user selection on the login screen. The only way for a non-root and system-savvy user is a complete reboot. I'm writing this from the perspective of my wife and kids. My kids wouldn't even be able to find the reboot option. From this perspective this bug rates "important" because it effectively brings down the system. *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? Normal boot-up of the system, gdm3 login window showing with user list. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Selecting a wrong user name from the list, and subsequently clicking "Cancel" hoping to get back to the initial screen with the full user list displayed * What was the outcome of this action? User display window collapses to a thin blue horizontal line, and after hitting "Enter" gdm3 keeps asking the password for the wrong user, with no way of selecting the correct user. * What outcome did you expect instead? Coming back to the initial login screen. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.34-1 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.16.1-1 ii dconf-tools 0.16.1-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii gir1.2-freedesktop 1.36.0-2+b1 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.36.0-2+b1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.4.2.1-4 ii gnome-session-bin 3.4.2.1-4 ii gnome-session-fallback [x-session-manager] 3.4.2.1-4 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2+git20121218.7c1322-6+b1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.8.3-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.4.2-3 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.34-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.8.0-2 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-1 ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libc6 2.17-7 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.14-4 ii libcairo2 1.12.14-4 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.12-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.10.2-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.3-3 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.36.3-3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.8.2-3 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-9 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.3-9 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-9 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii librsvg2-common 2.36.4-2 ii libselinux1 2.1.13-2 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.20-2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.0-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1 ii libxklavier16 5.2.1-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.1-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian12 ii lxsession [x-session-manager] 0.4.6.1-4 ii lxterminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.1.11-4 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:2.34.13-1 ii openbox [x-window-manager] 3.5.0-7 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 ii rxvt-unicode [x-terminal-emulator] 9.18-2 ii upower 0.9.20-2 ii x11-common 1:7.7+3 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7~3 ii xfce4-session [x-session-manager] 4.10.1-1 ii xfwm4 [x-window-manager] 4.10.1-1 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.9.4-1 ii desktop-base 7.0.3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.8.2-2 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.8.2.2-2 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7~1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.12.4-6 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+3 ii zenity 3.8.0-1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: pn gnome-orca <none> ii gnome-shell 3.4.2-11 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.8.2-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf changed: [daemon] [security] [xdmcp] [greeter] [chooser] [debug] -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3 gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
