Description

The test suite sometimes fails after clicking on the login button of the Greeter. The next loginctl test to see if the X session is opened can’t find one apart the Gdm one.

It happened:

  • 3 times so far in July
  • 6 times in June
  • 18 in May
  • 5 in April
  • 13 in March
  • 12 in February
  • 13 in January

But all this failures might not be due to the same reasons.

Maybe we need to raise a bit the waiting time for the session to open. Or there’s a bug in the Tails X session opening, or that’s Bug #11816 having being closed a bit too fast. This needs investigation.

Can you please attach the debug log (and ideally the video capture)?

  • Assignee deleted (bertagaz)
  • QA Check deleted (Info Needed)

I assume we’ve lost the debug log I’ve requested.

Next thing to do: check if this still happens.

  • Status changed from Confirmed to Rejected

This step is useless on Buster (see commit:fb172d0b3f701f6d692c854efc2ccfbd6a040998 for details) and I’ll remove it in a branch of mine.
