Bug Description
Lightdm-kde 0.1.0 does not properly read the user picture from liblightdm-qt. Version 0.1.1 was released to fix that issue.
-- SRU Information --
[Impact]
Users who set up a $HOME/.face picture won't see it in any LightDM KDE theme which supports user pictures. The generic user icon is used instead.
[Development Fix]
liblightdm-qt used to expose the user picture as a QPixmap, but was changed to use a QIcon instead. lightdm-kde greeter code was not updated to match this change. It has since been fixed upstream in the v0.1 branch (https:/
[Stable Fix]
debdiff has been uploaded to precise-proposed
[Test Case]
- install lightdm-kde
- copy a png file as $HOME/.face (any small png icon will do)
- open lightdm configuration (kcmshell4 kcm_lightdm), pick either "User Bar" or "User List"
- restart lightdm => notice the .face image is ignored
[Regression Potential]
None expected
