dconf defaults: Restore session-name override
Last modified: 2017-05-02 13:01:12 UTC
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - 17.04 gdm 3.18.3 - 3.24.1 Test Case --------- A user of default Ubuntu (running Unity) installs gnome-shell without installing the ubuntu-gnome-desktop metapackage. gnome-shell installs gdm. The user is asked whether to use gdm or lightdm. If the user picks gdm, the login screen will fail to load after the computer is restarted. Ubuntu's default install includes the ubuntu-settings package which contains /usr/share/glib-2.0/10_ubuntu-settings.gchema.override That file contains: [org.gnome.desktop.session] session-name="ubuntu" Other Info ---------- Ubuntu GNOME sets session-name="gnome" This is a partial revert of https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/data/?id=f66cdfcb
Created attachment 350502 [details] [review] dconf defaults: Restore session-name override This was dropped in f66cdfcb but GDM won't start when the default session-name is set to something else
Review of attachment 350502 [details] [review]: okay sounds fine. I wonder if we should revert commit 9fb36b5bef44bfe4aa1dda52196e08480638ce35 too

(In reply to Ray Strode [halfline] from comment #2) > I wonder if we should revert commit 9fb36b5bef44bfe4aa1dda52196e08480638ce35 I don't know. Maybe? Is it ok if I push my patch to the 3.22 and 3.24 branches too?
