Fixes committed to bzr (see bug description update), and uploaded to lucid-proposed. Awaiting SRU team review/approval. Please note that this comes bundled with bug 518810 and a new upstream microrelease.
** Description changed: + SRU INFORMATION: + + TEST CASE: + * create an ~/.xsession script: + + echo "exec xterm" > ~/.xsession + chmod 755 ~/.xsession + + * Log out, check which session you have selected (presumably GNOME), and check that you get GNOME when logging back in + * Log out, switch the session to ~/.xsession, and check that you get a session with a single xterm window. (Type "exit" to close it) + * Remove ~/.xsession, log out, back in, and check that you get a standard GNOME session even with the ~/.xsession session selected. + + PATCH: + * http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gdm/ubuntu/revision/254 adds the .desktop file (by running "default" instead of /etc/X11/Xsession, we avoid running Xsession.d/* twice; /etc/gdm/Xsession already takes care of this) + * http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gdm/ubuntu/revision/253 adds some missing exports to /etc/gdm/Xsession, as a prerequisite for the new session to work (see bug comments for details). + + REGRESSION POTENTIAL: There might be flaws or custom configurations + where ~/.xsession is run even with a different session selected in gdm. + Having ~/.xsession is a rather uncommon situation in the first place, + though; this scenario should be tested during verification. (Martin Pitt + already did that on his machine) + + Binary package hint: gdm Gdm 2.26.1-0ubuntu5 in Ubuntu Karmic ignores .xsession file and doesn't start my prefered window manager. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- The new gdm doesn't give an option to run /etc/X11/Xsession https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
