Description Nicolas Salguero 2016-01-12 11:01:38 CET

LXDM does not take care of users' faces that are stored in /usr/share/faces in Mga5 and Cauldron.  It only searches for $HOME/.face file or for a key in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER file.

Comment 1 Nicolas Salguero 2016-01-12 11:11:23 CET

For Cauldron, pkg lxdm-0.5.3-2.mga6 corrects the problem.

Comment 2 Nicolas Salguero 2016-01-12 11:16:17 CET

Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated lxdm package allows displaying, in the list of users, each user's face that is stored in /usr/share/faces.

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2016-02-08 14:15:40 CET

Testing M5 x64 real h/w

First thing: when changing the Display Manager in Mageia Control Centre, it was/is necessary to re-boot for it to take effect.

BEFORE update
Using LXDM not only did it not show the 'face' [which existed] in
/usr/share/faces/ , but not that in $HOME/.face/ either! It used its own default image.
(I only had a login image in the first; the second directory did not exist. So I created it and copied the image file to it. It may be that it should have been called $HOME/.faces for the image to be found).

AFTER update to lxdm-0.5.0-3.2.mga5
Removed $HOME/.face/ to leave just /usr/share/faces/ [with a login image].
Re-booted.
LXDM then correctly showed the image in /usr/share/faces/ in the user list.

Update OK.
