[manjaro-dev] Fwd: Re: Adding new user & MDM problem

Fri Jan 3 12:31:39 CET 2014

I used once again modified version of custom.conf which looks as following:# MDM Custom Configuration file.
#
# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the
# MDM configuration.   If you run mdmsetup, it will automatically edit this
# file for you and will cause the daemon and any running MDM GUI programs to
# automatically update with the new configuration.  Not all configuration
# options are supported by mdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
#
# This file overrides the default configuration settings.  These settings
# are stored in the MDM System Defaults configuration file, which is found
# at the following location.
#
# /usr/share/mdm/defaults.conf. 
#
# This file contains comments about the meaning of each configuration option,
# so is also a useful reference.  Also refer to the documentation links at
# the end of this comment for further information.  In short, to hand-edit
# this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in the
# appropriate section in the template below this comment section.
#
# For example, if you want to specify a different value for the Enable key
# in the "[debug]" section of your MDM System Defaults configuration file,
# then add "Enable=true" in the "[debug]" section of this file.  If the
# key already exists in this file, then simply modify it.
#
# Older versions of MDM used the "mdm.conf" file for configuration.  If your
# system has an old mdm.conf file on the system, it will be used instead of
# this file - so changes made to this file will not take effect.  Consider
# migrating your configuration to this file and removing the mdm.conf file.
#
# If you hand edit a MDM configuration file, you can run the following
# command and the MDM daemon will immediately reflect the change.  Any
# running MDM GUI programs will also be notified to update with the new
# configuration.
#
# mdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run mdm-restart or mdm-safe-restart to cause MDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings.  You can also restart MDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon.  HUP behaves like mdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by MDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# mdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting MDM.
#
# For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under
# GNOME|System category.  You can also find the docs in HTML form on
# http://www.gnome.org/projects/mdm/

#and nothing - bug is still the same as on earlier attached pictures.
And using custom.conf attached by you ALSO do not solve the prolem :( On Clouds style list is still empty (I used ctrl+c and ctrl+v to replace content of my custom.conf file).
Any other suggestions?

Thanks Phil!
In my custom.conf there were no "IncludeAll=true" string - I've added it, but nothing happend - same on Clouds and Manjaro Green MDM style.
Command 'cat /etc/passwd | grep bernadetta' gives correct 'bernadetta:x:1001:100::/home/bernadetta:/bin/bash'
I'm using Manjaro since 0.8.6 version; my current '/etc/mdm/custom.conf' looks as following:

Since 0.8.6 version - as I remember - we have MDM update. Maybe configuration file update was broken?
I'll use your defaults.conf file and give you another feedback.
Thanks once again,

Open a terminal and do:
cat /etc/passwd | grep bernadetta
bernadetta:x:1001:100::/home/bernadetta:/bin/bash
... so you might get some users there.
Then open MDM and update your config /etc/mdm/custom.conf:
MinimalUID=1000
IncludeAll=true
I did it on a fresh 0.8.8.0.909 live session:
cat /etc/passwd | grep testuser
testuser:x:1001:100::/home/testuser:/bin/bash
See the screenshot. Nothing to set up. I also attached the default custom.conf.
kind regards
