… x11/gnome on FreeBSD in VirtualBox: GNOME Display Manager works only with GNOME Classic – not with GNOME – and a locked screen cannot be unlocked …

<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294977#c2>

＂This bug will be never fixed!

It requires lots of work (I mean complex) in x11/gnome-session, x11-wm/mutter, x11/gdm and x11/gnome-shell. These 3 ports are interdependant. They communicate each other through D-Bus.

In addition, gnome-session is becoming increasingly dependent of systemd (for start/stop services, applications and even autostart).＂

Is there no way to show a script-generated welcome message on gdm/GNOME? 🤔

I had an security idea where the welcome message would be a sha512 hash, created with todays date + time (15 minutes interval) + pre randomly created static salt.

When you are about to login you check the hash against a hash you created on your phone.
If it's the same hash, you know it's your computer and not a honeypot someone put there to get your password. 🔑

No progress at all on this #Ubuntu #GDM login failure issue; I can now only use the machine with a PTS console login, then run gnome-session --wayland, and that gives me only basic function, no access to things like User Accounts.

journalctl only gives these two clues, neither of which yields any meaningful Search results (in 2026)

gdm-autologin][]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user
gdm-autologin][]: pam_unix(gdm-autologin:session): session opened for user guest(uid=1005) by guest(uid=0)
gdm-autologin][]: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock the login keyring.
gdm3[841002]: Gdm: GdmDisplay: Session never registered, failing

but console login proves the user has a perfectly good password! GDM3 fails on the auto-login acct, presents the list of users, clicking one lets you enter pw, then bounces back to the acct list screen and any subsequent attempts are shown a non-functional box to enter their pw and a 'back' button that does nothing. 😩

#gnome and #niri ... best of both worlds.

#gdm for looking, #niri as wm and all the good #gnome apps. even gnome-settings for managing network, bluetooth, sound.... :) love it

thanks to the #arch wiki: #GDM now great in 4k and with green accent

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM

...works with opensuse

anyone with #opensuse ... how do I scale up #gdm to 200% and change the accent color?

Hey #freebsd people. I have installed FreeBSD 15 on my Dell XPS 9500 which was very easy! However I am having an issue with #gnome the machine boots perfectly fine to #gdm login screen and I can type my password. As soon as I hit enter the machine freezes. I cannot even change to a TTY. Any ideas for how to debug it or what might be the cause? Pretty difficult when I cannot go to TTY

Trying from terminal I could see my home dir was owned by root which was part of the problem but not solved

Today, for the first time since I switched to Linux over 5 years ago, my #archlinux Z16 #thinkpad kept freezing after #gdm authentication. 😲

Apparently, because the status of `/run/user/1000` became corrupt. 🤔

1. TTY login
2. `loginctl terminate-user $USER` (cleanup sessions)
3. `systemctl restart systemd-logind` (recreating the directory)
4. `systemctl reboot`
5. Everything was back to normal

Took me an hour to figure out, though. 🫣

Ich habe auf meinem #Linux Desktop Rechner mal ein wenig mit den Displaymanagern rumgespielt.
Hintergrund: Ich habe ursprünglich den #Fedora #Cinnamon Spin installiert. Inzwischen nutze ich aber nur noch KDE. Da #Cinnamon den #LightDM als Desktopmanager hat und KDE als Standard eigentlich den #sddm dachte ich mir ich wechsle um es konsistent zu haben.
sddm fand ich gruselig. Habe dann #gdm probiert. Noch schlimmer.
Ich bin jetzt zurück auf LightDM und bleibe dabei. sddm und gdm werden gelöscht

Help need with #gdm in #opensuse tumbleweed.

I want to change the accent color in gdm.

machinectl shell gdm@ $(which gsettings) set org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color "green"

is not working

When running #gnome via #jet #kvm I cannot see the #login screen after #boot. The login screen seems to not be visible by #hdmi so #kvm control is absent. #gdm Any ideas how to tweak this in #nixos ?

#GNOME 49 RC re-enabled the #X11 Support in #GDM, quoting https://www.ubuntu-server.com/ubuntu/gnome-49-rc-released-re-enable-x11-support-in-gdm: "... meaning there’s NO 'Gnome on Xorg', but it still can load other X11 based desktop sessions, e.g., XFCE, MATE, and Cinnamon ..." #XLibre #Xingsday

Weird #FreeBSD issue on my x260 #laptop - after the latest update (I’m on 14.3-RELEASE-p1) with Gnome 47, #GDM lost the ability to switch over to #Gnome (on #Xorg): the session just hangs. I can switch to a console and stop GDM without issue but can’t get past the login screen. I can login using #lightdm, for some reason, so it doesn’t seem to be a general issue with Gnome…

Warum ich heute müde bin? Weil ich kurz vorm Schlafengehen diesen Fehler-Screen auf dem Laptop bekam und dann eine Stunde genervt-panisch versucht habe, das Notebook wieder an den Start zu bekommen.

Irgendwas hat #GDM zerschossen. Also nicht Ich, sondern irgendetwas, denn ich habe seit Wochen nichts umkonfiguriert oder hinzuinstalliert, nur brav alle 1-2 Tage Updates installiert.
Ich habe keine Ahnung, was genau und warum das ausgelöst hat, aber mit #LightDM startet das Ding wieder ohne Murren. Das muss diese Instabilität von #Arch sein, vor der mich immer alle gewarnt haben. #Linux

UPDATE: Hier sind Fehler und Lösung beschrieben: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306254 (Danke, @boris_pohler !)

Yes, I'll install the theme snaps.

Ubuntu Fixes Wi-Fi Connection Fail at Login Screen

Ubuntu users frustrated by the inability to connect to a new password-protected Wi-Fi network at the login screen will be pleased to know a fix is rolling out. This particular bug affects users of both Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. When trying to join a wireless network at the login screen (GDM) which requires a password, the password input prompt never appears and the connection fails. Why does—soon to be ‘did’—connecting to a wifi network at the Ubuntu login screen fail? Canonical software engineer (and the original bug reporter) Bartosz Woronicz explains: "The log-in screen [in Ubuntu] is implemented :sys_more_orange:

Yesterday, I had my first #crash in #bitwigstudio on #linuxaudio in the 5 years I've been using #linux exclusively for #musicproduction. And I think it was a special one. 😜 Because, while the audio playback continued, I was thrown to #gdm login. 🫣
