greeter: explicitly quit when bus goes away (2.04 KB, patch)
2012-09-05 22:24 UTC, Ray Strode [halfline] 		committed Details | Review

Description Jeremy Bicha 2012-08-30 21:26:31 UTC 
1. Use GDM 3.5.90 in Fallback mode (this is the 3.0 look, not the fancy GNOME Shell style). Fallback mode is generally what people get when using VirtualBox; it can also be force-enabled.
2. Log in.
3. The login screen still shows up but it can't be interacted with. It's especially bad in Classic mode as the top bar from GDM competes with the top bar from gnome-panel.

Hmm, I can't reproduce this.  Can you attach to gdm-simple-greeter and get a backtrace?

greeter: explicitly quit when bus goes away

The process is supposed to get automatically terminated when
the session bus goes away, but that isn't seemingly working.

This commit forces it to quit explicitly.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-09-05 22:25:02 UTC 
would be curious if attachment 223584 [details] [review] helps
Comment 5 darkxst 2012-09-05 22:37:32 UTC 
yes, that fixes things. The greeter now gets terminated correctly!
Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-09-06 17:55:52 UTC 
interesting and weird
