don't show fingerprint options if disabled (2.42 KB, patch)

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-02-11 15:31:33 UTC 
if the administrator disabled fingerprint authentication, then we shouldn't show it in the UI.

This is controlled by org.gnome.login-screen enable-fingerprint-authentication

That doesn't propagate to the user.
Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-02-11 17:04:07 UTC 
hmm, two choices (I guess):

1) set DCONF_PROFILE=gdm and do:
 GSettingsBackend *backend = g_object_new (g_type_from_name ("DConfSettingsBackend", ...);
 g_settings_new_with_backend (...,backend);  
2) use dconf_engine_new directly with "gdm" as the first argument

2 seems better to me, but we should ask Ryan what he thinks is the right way forward.

Given your constraints, 2.

But this is very weird...

That's not an exported function... Could gdm export that information through D-Bus instead?
Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-02-20 17:43:08 UTC 
wait a minute, we're confused. it does propagate to the user. admin isn't supposed to set it in the gdm profile, but the user profile.
