Subject: gdm: Please update the package Package: gdm Version: 2.6.0.8-1 Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line *** I request to have the package updated because there is a new upstream release which fixes a problem. It is the following: If two users are logged in already and both of their sessions are locked by xscreensaver, no new user can log in. That is because the xscreensaver-button calls gdmflexiserver, which pops up a window asking whether one wants to continue an already running session. But that window cannot be seen because it is hidden by xscreensaver, nor is it of any use anyway, because the new user can not interact with it. This is fixed with gdm version 2.8.0.5: gdmflexiserver has now an option --startnew to omit the session window and instead start a new server immediately. It would be very nice to have that new feature in the debian package! -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.3-eigener Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.74 Add and remove users and groups ii aterm [x-terminal-emulato 0.4.2-11 Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator f ii debconf 1.4.58 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.11.0.1 package maintenance system for Deb ii eterm [x-terminal-emulato 0.9.2-8.1 Enlightened Terminal Emulator ii fluxbox [x-window-manager 0.9.14-1 Highly configurable and low resour ii gksu 1.3.5-2 graphical frontend to su ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 2.4.25-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libbonobo2-0 2.10.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.10.1-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgconf2-4 2.10.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.10.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.10.2-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.10.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.10.1-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.10-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.12.4-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpam-modules 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.2-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librsvg2-2 2.9.5-4 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 1.26-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System Session Management ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System Input extension li ii libxml2 2.6.22-1 GNOME XML library ii xbase-clients 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 miscellaneous X clients ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System client libraries m ii xterm [x-terminal-emulato 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X terminal emulator ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-6 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii whiptail 0.51.6-31 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii zenity 2.10.1-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
