gdm3 (3.38.1-2ubuntu1) groovy; urgency=medium
* Merging with debian, containing a new upstream release, remaining changes:
+ readme.debian: update for correct paths in ubuntu
+ control.in:
- don't recommend desktop-base
- build depend on libgudev-1.0-dev
- depend on bash for config_error_dialog.patch
- update vcs field
- recomends libpam-fprintd (instead of suggests)
+ rules:
- don't override default user/group
- -dgdm-xsession=true to install upstream xsession script
- override dh_installinit with --no-start to avoid session being killed
+ rules, readme.debian, gdm3.8.pod:
use upstream custom.conf instead of daemon.conf
+ gdm3.{postinst,postrm}: rename user and group back to gdm
+ gdm3.postinst, gdm3.prerm: don't kill gdm on upgrade
+ gdm3.*.pam: make pam_env read ~/.pam_environment
+ gdm3.install:
- stop installing default.desktop. it adds unnecessary clutter
("system default") to the session chooser.
- don't install debian/xsession
+ add run_xsession.d.patch
+ add xresources_is_a_dir.patch
- fix loading from /etc/x11/xresources/*
+ add nvidia_prime.patch:
- add hook to run prime-offload (as root) and prime-switch if
nvidia-prime is installed
+ add revert_override_lang_with_accountservices.patch:
- on ubuntu accountservices only stores the language and not the
full locale as needed by lang.
+ add dont_set_language_env.patch:
- don't run the set_up_session_language() function, since it
overrides variable values set by ~/.pam_environment
+ add config_error_dialog.patch:
- show warning dialog in case of error in ~/.profile etc. and
don't let a syntax error make the login fail
+ add debian/patches/revert_nvidia_wayland_blacklist.patch:
- don't blacklist nvidia for wayland
+ add gdm3.service-wait-for-drm-device-before-trying-to-start-i.patch:
- wait for the first valid gdm device on pre-start
+ add debian/default.pa
- disable bluetooth audio devices in pulseaudio from gdm3.
+ debian/gdm3.install
- added details of the default.pa file
+ debian/gdm3.postinst
- added installation of default.pa and creation of dir if it doesn't
exist.
+ debian/greeter.dconf-defaults: don't set debian settings in the
greeter's dconf db
gdm3 (3.38.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/gdm3.preinst: Add script to replace possibly wrong .conf file.
In gdm3 versions of the 3.38 series a regression was introduced causing
the /usr/libexec/gdm-disable-wayland tool to write its supposedly
temporary gdm file to the persistent location.
This is particularly harmful for users of the NVIDIA drivers as they
will get their default config file (/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf in debian and
/etc/gdm3/custom.conf in Ubuntu) modified for good, making impossible to
login in a Wayland session (once nvidia driver is disabled).
As per this, in case of upgrades or install with configuration files
left, we replace the gdm's daemon.conf/custom.conf file in case it
matches the one that the disable-wayland tool would produce.

(LP: #1899673)
gdm3 (3.38.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Fix bug leading to users /etc/gdm/custom.conf getting overwritten on
nvidia systems (LP: #1899673).
- Fix typo in comment
- Translation updates
* debian/rules: Don't override the runtime-conf path anymore.
Upstream fixed the root issue for changing this, so the default runtime
configuration file will be correctly written in the runtime path again.
gdm3 (3.38.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload
* d/rules: Set runtime configuration path.
In Autotools, the default runtime configuration path used to be
${GDM_RUN_DIR}/custom.conf, but in the Meson build system the fallback
changed to be the same as the custom.conf path in /etc (set to
/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf in Debian for historical reasons).
Explicitly set it to the path we used before switching to Meson, so
that configuration changes by gdm-disable-wayland are temporary as
intended, and do not persist to a subsequent boot.
* Revert "debian/watch: Monitor unstable versions"
* d/upstream/metadata: Add
* Merge packaging from unstable
* Release to unstable
