Public bug reported: Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Assignee: Oliver Grawert Status: Unconfirmed
Description: When attempting to use "Switch User" function within Edubuntu/LTSP environment, error message states "You do not seem to be logged in on the console" message details "Starting a new login only works correctly on the console" - this is because "Switch User" requires GDM and Edubuntu/LTSP commonly uses LDM for a login manager. Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome- desktop'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu. -- Switch User should be disabled when not running under GDM https://launchpad.net/bugs/37253 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
