> So, to conclude, switching from .dmrc to AccountsService has actually reduced the flexibility of lightdm with no apparent gain in functionality (unless I miss something). The reasons of using account service include: - the fact that it has proper apis to use rather than having to deal with a not-well-documented keysfile - the fact that GNOME standardized on using it (e.g gnome-control-center's users administration tools is using it, gdm is using it) - it seems a better freedesktop standard way to do thing That said accountsservice does has issue and we should work with upstream on fixing those, feel free to open bugs on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=accountsservice -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823718 Title: Replace ~/.dmrc with AccountsService To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/823718/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
