#ubuntu #gdm3 with multiple .desktop files in my /etc/share/xsessions, I still do not see the gear icon on gdm login screen. I cannot change from x11 to wayland. What am I missing? #gdm #gnome #wayland #x11

🇫🇷 Nouvel article sur mon blog : fixer la session graphique a utiliser dans GDM3 (en anglais)

🇬🇧 New post on my blog: How to set a default graphical session in #GDM3

https://wazablog.fr/posts/gdm-default-session

Set GDM Default session (not the last used)

Some context: I own a Starlite V, and I use it as a hybrid PC with Gnome and Regolith Desktop. When I work at my desk, I use Regolith, then I turn off the computer and go away from keyboard. Then on the next use, I am on my couch and I boot in tablet mode, then GDM3 by default will send me back to the last session used (Regolith here), and… Bam!

#TIL: Wenn der #VNC (hier #tigervnc) nur ein schwarzes Bild zeigt: #Autologin von #gdm3 deaktivieren, auch wenn diverse Tipps gegenteiliges behaupten.

After moving to #KDE #Plasma from #GNOME on #PopOS / #Pop_OS...
When I unlock, I'm challenged for my password two or three times.
Still using #gdm3.

Ideas?

First response: "Place your right finger on the fingerprint reader." (I'm using a password.)
Second response: "Unlocking failed."

The only things I see in the logs that look relevant:

3/20/24 7:13 PM [email protected] secret_password_lookup_sync() failed: The name is not activatable
3/20/24 7:14 PM bihon kcheckpass[383187] pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error

3/20/24 7:13 PM [email protected] secret_password_lookup_sync() failed: The name is not activatable
3/20/24 7:14 PM bihon kcheckpass[383187] pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error

MORE INFO:
The first prompt appears to only accept a password. The second prompt can accept a fingerprint OR a password.

I've already run
sudo apt purge gnome-screensaver

per https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/

but it isn't clear it helped.

A colleague helped me to extend the #gdm3 login selections. I now select #xsession and can use #nix home-manager for even more options. E.g. keyboard, language, global env variables, etc.

My own nixpkgs (for nix + home-manager). Used for nix on my current Ubuntu Setup. Lives inside ~/.config/nixpkgs

Falls 1 von Euch zufällig einen Plan hat, wie ich #XDMCP unter #GDM3 auf #Ubuntu1804 zum Laufen bekomme - ich bin für Vorschläge, aktuelle Anleitungen, Erfahrungen und Begründungen, warum ich das auf jeden Fall lassen sollte, dankbar.

Vielen Dank! 💜
