That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/61752 "Edgy 6.10 dev (sep 22, 3 AM IST) with updates Steps to reproduce -> Enable timed login for a user -> Logout Message shown below the Username box is : <user> will login in <time> seconds<user> eg: "pradeep will login in 5 secondspradeep" ... > Thanks for your bug. What locale do you use? ... I use english its en_US.UTF-8. ... Same here with french locale. ... sv_SE also the msgid in the .po generated from Rosetta (for edgy) shows the correct line."
What version of GDM are you using? Are you using gdmlogin or gdmgreeter (what is the setting for daemon/Greeter in the GDM configuraiton)? run gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CONFIG daemon/Greeter" If you are using gdmgreeter, could you attach the xml file for the GDM theme you are using? Messages can be redefined in the theme file, and the problem may be there.
gdm is 2.16.1, it was doing the same with 2.16.0 $ gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CONFIG daemon/Greeter" OK /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter It happens with the Ubuntu Human theme and also with circles from upstream
Created attachment 74129 [details] circles theme it happens with that theme by example
Do you also see the problem if you change the greeter from /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter to /usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin? I think I see the problem. Note in gdm_common_expand_text, there is no "break" at the end of case 't':. Does adding a break at the end of this case fix the problem? I fixed this in CVS head and 2.16 branch, so if you could test, that would be great.
that change fixes the issue, thank you for the quick fix
