[kdm] new user not shown on login screen
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:55 UTC
With my SUSE 9.3, I had the users user1 and user2. Then, I upgraded to SUSE 10, and there was a figure shown for user1 and user2 on the login screen. I liked this. Then, I added user3. Now, only user1 was shown on the login screen. Now, all users who logged in since then are shown on the login screen. This is not as the user expects it, please make it consistent.
Can you please attach the /var/log/YaST2 directory (as a tar file)?
This is a login manager issue.
this is tricky. The login manager tries not to display more than 7 users. For this it first lists the existing accounts and if there are more than 7, it will switch to the last logged in. So you will always have a point where it switches to that mode and I can't make it "consistent". There is one issue unfixed though: the display manager doesn't give feedback that it did. But what you describe should be another bug: it shouldn't switch with 3 users. You sure only had 3 users?
no, it were "around seven" users when this happened. I should have mentioned. Coolo, thanks for your work on KDE...
trying to change bug status to assigned... tagging field did not work...
The following scenario occurred: I had seven users and someone came and visited me. I told her: Look at my Linux login screen, I have some users and I will add you. Then, I added her by means of yast2. Then, I logged out and she was not shown on the login screen - only the user who had logged in as the last one. So, this is how it should be: - up to seven users, show all users - when more than seven users exist, show the users with the most recent activation. - a user activation can either be a login by the user or his or her creation.
I'm afraid that info does not exist. And it surely does not make sense in a NIS/LDAP environment
There has been no activity for more than 3 month. I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX. If you feel this is inappropriate and the bug should remain open, or you have new information which may lead to an actual resolution, please reopen the bug and add the new status.
it's a missing feature
tracking over fate now
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
