Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.30.2-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm, How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install other windows manager (I tried with xmonad and awesome), or simply create *.session representing raw X session. 2. Login to the newly created session using GDM 3. Log out Actual results: After logging out from Awesome the Awesome session should be selected as default, but GNOME is selected as default session although the Awesome is shown as default session in ~/.dmrc. Expected results: After logging out from Awesome window manager is selected as user's default session. Additional info: This works on Fedora 12, with gdm-2.28.2.3.fc12, so it must be a regression. I'm using custom gnome-session configuration which launches special Gnome session where Awesome replaces panel and window manager, however the issue occurs even if Awesome is run in the standalone mode or an raw Xsession is launched.

GDM now uses the account service to choose default session. Is /var/lib/AccountsService/users getting updated after you choose your session and log in?

Unfortunately, if you log in on a different machine in a computer lab or reinstall, it "forgets" the session again. I understand that GDM can't (and shouldn't) write to users' home directories, but it should at least be reading the file in the home directories and honoring their explicit configuration.

Mounting the /var/lib/AccountsService directory through nfs from an external server might help get around this issue.

I can confirm this bug for precise with nfs+ldap+kerberos. The default session for users isn't saved in either lightdm or gdm, as both use accountsservice for session saving. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897212 Title: lightdm ignores session selection of ldap users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/897212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still seeing this issue. Ubuntu 11.10 fully updated. LDAP users login and it ignores desktop selection. Still doesn't work after logging out and back in. The users always get the Unity desktop.

I don't completely understand why, but using Cedric's backport PPA in bug #873784 to get correct handling of the wtmp file also resolved the issue with the session selection for me.

Just a note that the 'no LDAP user is listed after reboot' is likely the same bug reported in bug #873784 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/873784) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897212 Title: lightdm ignores session selection of ldap users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/897212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
