Hi, this bug affects me too in Karmic (and 18 PCs in our school's computer lab, which I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10). Fix for Lucid is in bug #463376, but is not backported to Karmic.
Oh, the bug is about GDM's /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default script where you no longer get the user name that's login in through any of $USER, $USERNAME or $LOGNAME (they all now contain "gdm"). It worked before Karmic, but not with new GDM 2.28.x. Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/463376 seems to have resolved the issue for Lucid, but the fix is still not in Karmic. Please could you backport the fix in bug 463376 from Lucid to Karmic? This way us poor school sysadmins could stop pulling out our hair because of this :-) Many people rely on these vars set properly to perform tasks like "cleaning" the student's home directory at login and setting predefined defaults for the desktop. -- Environment passed to /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default script does not contain useful information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506972 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
