Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I have installed Karmic on four machines. On two, it was a fresh
installation; on another two, it was an upgrade from Intrepid.
GDM works fine on the upgraded machines. On the fresh ones, I have been
seeing weird behaviour from GDM. The name of the user that I created
during installation does not appear. It just says ‘Other’ instead.
However, it says the proper name in a tooltip if I hover over it, and if
I click on it, it asks me for the password for that user and lets me log
in.
If I create several users, they all appear, but there is still an
‘Other’ which logs in the first user that I created.
If I delete a user, they still appear in the list.
Karmic seems to have removed the ability to configure GDM, so I don’t
know what to do. I’m considering copying /etc/gdm/ from the computers
that work to the computers that don’t.
All machines are fully up to date.
