Fix the user login experience on the greeter on a tablet

[Pat McGowan]

The current UX for tablets or when converged with a mouse attached is a bit of a placeholder showing the default phablet user.

We need to support two modes of the greeter that scales according to the available input devices. The first one is one that works across mobile and tablet devices in non-mouse connected / touch-centric state. Unlocking with no mouse connected would be exactly as it is today on the phone, which displays the Infographic until you touch the screen, and then you get a message that says "swipe to unlock" If you don't have a pin code set, the screen unlocks. if you have a pincode set, the touch pincode-entry pad appears.

If a mouse is connected, however, you get the more "desktop-friendly" greeter with the infographic, user-name and password entry field (just like what we have today) on tablet. If the user taps or clicks into the password edit box, the OSK is popped up (unless an external keyboard is also attached). If no password or pincode has been set, then instead of the password entry field, you would instead have a "login" button that clears the greeter.

On a tablet with mouse connected and no pincode set, the user could either swipe away the greeter or tap on the login button. If the user has a password/pincode set and attempts to swipe away the greeter, we should put up a hint message asking the user to enter their password/pincode to continue.

This incremental enhancement to recognize the mouse is more consistent with convergence because tablets are mobile devices, and if no mouse is attached, we should follow a touch-centric approach. In a mouse-connected state, we can assume the user will be favoring that device.

===============

Immediate problem: "phablet" name on the greeter login list. A bigger refactoring of the greeter for bigger screens will follow.

[Lukáš Tinkl (lukas-kde)]

With the new OOBE wizard, we will gain a field for entering user's real name, so we could display that instead of the generic "phablet" logname, if the user had filled it.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

The immediate change we want is to display the "real name" instead of the user name in the greeter. The code does try to display "realName", but it always returns username only. So it looks like liblightdm-qt is doing it wrong.

On top of that, the phablet user on our touch images has GECOS set to "phablet", we should set it to "Ubuntu" and new OOBE will actually let users decide on first boot.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

I've printed out all the roles of my user:

qml: UsersModel.display: michal
qml: UsersModel.decoration: QVariant(QIcon)
qml: UsersModel.name: michal
qml: UsersModel.realName: michal
qml: UsersModel.loggedIn: false
qml: UsersModel.background: QVariant(QPixmap)
qml: UsersModel.backgroundPath:
qml: UsersModel.session:
qml: UsersModel.hasMessages: false
qml: UsersModel.imagePath:

So it's confirmed, all of display, name and realName roles return the same value.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Pat, we've been working with design (Patricia) to get actual design documents for the tablet greeter. Up until now, their guidelines have been "just copy what the desktop does" because they didn't have cycles for tablet stuff. Now, obviously, tablet and convergence matters more and they are working on visual specs as we speak.

But they haven't finished yet. And I'm loathe to make a redesign in advance of that.

But the issue with real names makes immediate sense. We'll need to (1) update the script that creates the phablet user to set Ubuntu, (2) fix liblighdmqt to return the actual real name, and (3) probably add a hack in unity8 to display "Ubuntu" for a system with a single "phablet" user for the upgrade case.

I'll start on it.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

This turned out to be an issue in unity8, not lightdm. Resetting tasks.
