Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2011-08-10 05:00:32 MSK

In Simply Linux 6.0.0 beta 2011-06-20, I selected an option in gdmsetup that must show a list of users with icons in gdm. But gdm showed no such list (or the list was empty...), although there were 2 users in the system.

Install newest gdm-theme-simply from p6.

Thanks for the reference.

Actually, it seems that it would work and show the list with userpics even with the other, older packages:


$ rpm -qa gdm-theme-*
gdm-theme-simple-1.95-alt8

It's just about selecting a theme in gdmsetup *and the "themed with face browser" option*. I didn't pay attention to this option when I tried to achieve this effect that first time.

(I agree that the default should be with the face browser.)
