description |
IF lightdm is configure for autologin with a timeout, it only autologins the user when the system starts. If the (auto logged in) users logs out, the timeout is then not re-applied.
I would expect the system to autologin in this case as well, just when the timeout expired.
GDM's autologin with timeout feature behaves this way, fwiw. i.e. if you log out, the timeout is re-applied.
Whether this can be considered a bug or feature, is debatable, I filed it as bug for now (because for our application it is a bug).
background: We use the autologin with timeout feature to start a POS application automatically. When the POS application terminates, lightdm regains control. And now the user is stuck, unless he knows the login credentials. |
[Impact]
If LightDM is set up for timed login this only occurs on first login, i..e after a session logout timed login is not reattempted. This doesn't match the traditional behaviour of GDM. A common use case for timed login is kiosk setups where the greeter should never be displayed for any significant amount of time; this is currently impossible to set up with LightDM.
[Test Case]
1. Setup LightDM to do a timed login
2. Wait for timeout
(session starts)
3. Log out of session
Expected result:
The session is started again after the timeout.
Observed result:
The greeter is show forever.
[Regression potential]
There is some risk that someone might have been relying on the existing behaviour. The assumption is that most timed login users would prefer the new behaviour. There is a small risk that these changes may have broken something else, this has been reduced by using the regression tests. |
