#1 Updated by intrigeri 2014-07-11 15:05:03

  • blocks Bug #7423: Have what we need included in Debian Jessie added

#2 Updated by alant 2014-07-13 13:49:20

  • % Done changed from 0 to 10
  • Feature Branch set to greeter:feature/jessie

A few changes are required to let the greeter start (cf feature/jessie in the greeter repository).

I managed to get everything start with the gdm-tails.session included and confugured in greeter.gsettings but it fails to display anything.

Replacing tails-greeter by gnome-terminal also results in a black screen.

#3 Updated by alant 2014-07-17 11:29:55

  • Status changed from Confirmed to Fix committed
  • % Done changed from 10 to 100

I got a working greeter by porting the code to the new GDBus API.
