Last logged in user is not selected

[Marius B. Kotsbak]

Before, the last logged in user is focused and ready to enter password. In this new lightdm KDE greeter, it seems like the users are sorted alphabetically and the first one is always selected.

LightDM-KDE should be doing this.

Last user is saved/restored from a log file.

Please run "sudo cat /var/lib/lightdm/.kde/share/config/state-kde" and paste output here.

[Marius B. Kotsbak (mariusko)]

There, I see:

[lightdm]
lastUser=marius

so it looks right.

[David Edmundson (david.edmundson)]

Marius, sorry for the delay replying. Thanks for the information, that indeed does look right.

Could you list the usernames of the user's that appear on the login screen, and the one being selected?
It seems to work for me, however there could still be a bug in certain circumstances that you're encountering.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Mark Fraser (launchpad-mfraz)]

I have 3 users - mfraser, pfraser & tfraser. Even though the last user to log-in was tfraser, mfraser is the one that is selected.

sudo cat /var/lib/lightdm/.kde/share/config/state-kde

[lightdm]
lastUser=tfraser

Still seeing this with an install that has been upgraded to 13.04. A new install of 13.04 doesn't show this problem.

[Pavel (ppv)]

This bug affects me on Precise (lightdm-kde-greeter 0.1.1-0ubuntu0.1 amd64) but not on Quantal (lightdm-kde-greeter 0.3.0-0ubuntu2 amd64).

[Mark Fraser (launchpad-mfraz)]

Still affecting me with a fresh install of Trusty (lightdm-kde-greeter 0.3.2.2-0ubuntu1).
