https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480634 Summary: setting InfoMsgFile in /etc/gdm/custom.conf does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mwfolsom@swcp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 Should be able to add the following to /etc/gdm/custom.conf [greeter] InfoMsgFile=/etc/issue (here /etc/issue could also be /etc/motd or any other text file) then restart the system and have it display the contents of that file on the login screen. This worked in earlier versions of OpenSuse and also in SLE10 when you edited /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf file and set InfoMsgFile to equal /etc/issue in its greeter section. Also based on information from http://library.gnome.org/users/gdm/2.14/configuration.html.en#greetersection it should also work now. A similar bug appears to have occurred in both Fedora and RHEL5. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file and insert lines InfoMsgFile=/etc/issue in greeter section 2.restart system 3. Actual Results: Screen/pane with text for /etc/issue file does not appear on the login screen Expected Results: Text should show up and prompt user for an OK before letting user login. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
