Description claire robinson 2012-03-15 11:00:20 CET 
Pre-release testing beta 2 kde dvd 64bit

XGuest does not clear it's home directory when logged out and back in. Files which have been created are still there next time it is used.

Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2012-03-15 11:04:25 CET 
That's for Damien who updated to a newer version
Besides one single fix, I haven't touch xguest for years

Just not that it can be due to bug #4934

Ok, fix found.
The issue comes from gdm, kdm, ...
Working on it for gdm and asked kde team for a fix for kdm.
Stay tuned.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 3 Damien Lallement 2012-03-15 18:11:09 CET 
Fixed on gdm and lxdm. A new kdm will land soon for this issue.
lxdm-0.4.1-9.mga2
gdm-3.2.1.1-5.mga2
xdm can't be patch for this issue, so tmpfs won't work with xdm.
Please update and test both of them.
Comment 4 claire robinson 2012-03-15 18:20:48 CET 
I won't have the opportunity now until Monday Damien, would you mind asking on #mageia-qa for testing. Thanks.
Comment 5 Anne Nicolas 2012-03-15 21:41:43 CET 
Testing on LXDE with lxdm. I do have now tmpfs but I cannot write anything in xguest home

Comment 6 Damien Lallement 2012-03-15 22:34:59 CET 
Same thing for LXDE... I can't use a terminal at all, no backgrounds, ... If I replace lxdm with gdm, all is working as expected.

For KDE: a new mageia-kde4-config is now available.
Comment 7 Damien Lallement 2012-03-15 23:07:23 CET 
I will open a bug report for the LXDM/LXDE + xguest issue.
Nothing related to this bug.

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
