2021-09-21 18:16:01 Andrew Hayzen summary gnome-session impish 40 update login quickly causes desktop rather than activites overview Changing the resolution while in the activites overview changes to the desktop
2021-09-21 19:25:05 Andrew Hayzen description What Happened 1) Installed the package gnome-session (ensuring it is the latest version) 2) At gdm picked "GNOME" and not "Ubuntu" 3) Reboot and login to the desktop 4) Notice that initially the activity overview is shown (correctly) 5) Then within a second or so, something causes the desktop to be focused and activity overview closed (incorrect) Further notes: - if you log out and log back in again, it doesn't happen ? - if you wait on the gdm login for a long period of time (eg over a minute) then it doesn't happen ? - this is *not* the Ubuntu session but the GNOME session What I expected to happen: At step 5 for the activity overview to stay and not switch to the desktop until the user has interacted. I understand that the Ubuntu session with the dock enabled wants the desktop to be the current state after login. But for the GNOME session with no extensions enabled, the way that if one logs in quickly and something is triggering the activity overview to be dismissed appears to be a bug. $ apt policy gnome-session gnome-session: Installed: 40.1.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 40.1.1-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 40.1.1-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch) Release: 21.10 What Happened 1) Open GNOME Shell to the activities overview 2) Change the resolution (eg if using a VM resize it) 3) Notice that we switch to the desktop view What I expected to happen: At step 3 to remain in the activities overview. $ apt policy gnome-shell gnome-shell: Installed: 40.2-1ubuntu6 Candidate: 40.2-1ubuntu6 Version table: *** 40.2-1ubuntu6 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch) Release: 21.10
