DetailsDescription:
On GDM login screen you can see the computer's hostname below the computer icon. When you click on it, it replaced by the first line from /etc/issue file, which contains special characters only. When I add the following line to /etc/arch-release file, then GDM reads from it instead of /etc/issue file and displays correctly: "Arch Linux 2.6.36-ARCH" So I suggest to add some release information to arch-release file. Additional info: * package version(s) filesystem 2010.10-1 gdm 2.32.0-3 (also happens with earlier versions) Steps to reproduce: Run GDM login screen and click on the hostname below computer icon. |
This task depends upon
FS#19637,FS#21568,FS#13739,FS#7493,FS#7163,FS#7156,FS#8618,FS#3380... well, I think you get the point :Phttp://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/tree/gui/simple-greeter/gdm-greeter-login-window.c?id=c04ba8e09110c72aeb9b3b1574bfd733cc661437#n1082
char buf[4096];
bug is initialized with a random value and is NOT NULL.
fgets return NULL because there is nothing to read but they are still duplicating buf into line.
please report it and paste the link here so i can follow it
patch here: http://pkgbuild.com/~ioni/0001-Fix-version-in-login-window-when-file-is-empty.patch
