http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1039756 Bug ID: 1039756 Summary: GNOME needs to support default.desktop in session directories Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other URL: http://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/376325/modules/first_ boot/steps/21 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: fvogt@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: dimstar@opensuse.org, fvogt@suse.com, jreidinger@suse.com, lnussel@suse.com, lslezak@suse.com, mlin@suse.com, okurz@suse.com, simonf.lees@suse.com Depends on: 1030873 Found By: --- Blocker: --- +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1030873 +++ If no default autologin session is defined, default.desktop (usually in /usr/share/xsessions, but can eventually be in wayland-sessions as well) is used by displaymanagers such as lightdm and sddm. This link is now created by update-alternatives for IceWM, Xfce, LXQt (sr not accepted yet), Plasma5 and enlightenment. This means that if GDM is used if one of those is installed, it will list default.desktop twice, as it is a symlink to a .desktop file in the same directory. lightdm and sddm are patched to recognize this properly. GDM should respect the default.desktop selection if nothing else is defined in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. GNOME should also register itself with update-alternatives, with the same priority as KDE (25), for reference: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/KDE:Frameworks5/plasma5-session?linkrev=base&rev=108 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
