2.20.6 stable update

[Sebastien Bacher]

Binary package hint: gdm

there is a new 2.20.6 stable update available

TESTCASE:

that's a new version and there is no specific changes to test, just make sure it's still correctly working (can log in, change user, restart the box, changing the configuration using gdmsetup, use autologin, etc)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new version fix several crashers at shutdown which might cause the slow shutdown issues some users described

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

config/Xsession.in removes some code which (according to the reorganization of Xsession) should move to somewhere else. But I don't see a corresponding addition in the patch anywhere?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

In particular, the LC_* normalization was removed deliberately, but the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES removal doesn't appear anywhere else, and I don't see it mentioned in the changelog?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Seb and I confirmed that we are not affected by all the Xsession changes, so that is safe.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted into hardy-proposed, please test.

[Geoff Goehle (goehle)]

I've installed this on Xubuntu Hardy. Everything seems to work normally and it fixed my slow shutdown problem.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I have successfully used this gdm version for a few days now. Logging in, autologin, gdmflexiserver etc. work fine. gdmsetup also works.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Seb also confirmed that the new gdm version works fine. Considering verified.

Copied to hardy-updates and intrepid.

Hi there

Before the patch i had the same problem, with another problem. I had some networkmanager error, and the slowdown appear. With this path, the 2 problem are solved for me.

But other people on ubuntu fr experience this bug, the slowdown is resolved for him, but not the networkmanager bug.

See the screenshot for more information:

If you want detailled information ask to me.

And if it's a different bug, said to me, then i create a new bug report

[Ski-lleR (ski-ller)]

Correction: if he install the 2.20.6, he experience the slowdown bug. After reinstall 2.20.5, no more slowdown problem, but always the networkmanager crash during shutdown

[Ski-lleR (ski-ller)]

Some more info

With gdm 2.20.5, he don't have problem, no more crash, no more slowdown. What's the hell ?

[Ski-lleR (ski-ller)]

Small progress

If he fully re-install 2.20.6 (with clear settings), no more slowdown/crash at shutdown.

BUT if he change the "Human" Gdm theme by another, the problem appear.
