Bug Description

hi!

SDDM Version 0.14.0 was released August 28th 2016 [1].

Current version in Xenial/Yakkety is 0.13.xx

Source-Code: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/archive/v0.14.0.tar.gz

Changelog (in short)

## Legend
---------
    + New features
    - Bug fixes
    * Others

## 0.14.0 - 2016-08-28
----------------------
    + New sddm.conf option EnableAvatars (useful for slow filesystems)
    + New sddm.conf option UserAuthFile on the XDisplay section
      to change the default Xauthority file name and path.
    + New sddm.conf option SessionLogFile on XDisplay and WaylandDisplay
      sections to change the default user session log location.
    + ComboBox now exposes the arrow background color as
      "arrowColor" property.
    + New "style" theme configuration for QtQuick Controls 2.0.
    + Require Qt 5.6 or better.
    + Enable HiDPI support.
    + Refresh sessions list.
    + Always fallback to an embedded theme if no suitable theme is found.
    - Actually change Qt platform theme.
    - Switch to Wayland session vt only when authentication
      succeeds.
    - Close PAM session.
    - Delete PAM credentials after closing the session.
    * More theme-neutral default user and root avatars
    * REMOVED the "circles" theme. Remember to change it if you had it set!
    * REMOVED the "maui" theme as a standalone theme as it is now
      embedded in the greeter. Remember to change the theme to empty
      if you had it set to "maui".
    * Update Estonian translation.
    * Add Catalan translation from Robert Antoni Buj Gelonch.
    * Add Dutch translation from Eric Hameleers.
    * Add Slovak translation from Martin Minka.
    * Add Swedish translation from Kristoffer Grundström.
    * Add Ukrainian translation from Cherevan Andriy.
    * Add Indian flag from Sanjeev Premi.

It would be a pitty if these changes would have to be patched cherry-picked after release of 16.10 (that suggestion lies in the past now, sorry)

The Release-Announcement [1] contains any important information, like patches/their links.

This Release requires Qt-Version 5.6 or better. Thus it would NOT [3] qualify to be backported to Xenial-LTS - needs cherry'pickin.

Debian is already informed about this via their PTS [2]. There is appearently no action taken since - which would imply a FFe for 16.10 now. So, this shouldn't actually need another bug-report there then ;-)

Closing LP-bugs:
bug #1435321 – [upstream] keyboard focus not in password field
bug #1624268 – pam_mount crashing SDDM because helper don't close session after authentication
bug #1532381 – SDDM 0.13: kcmsddm shows old preview-picture of Maldives (reported upstream)
bug #1446760 – sddm and lightdm can run at the same time

Big thanks for the quality of life the Ubuntu-Flavors offer to the people around the world, beforehand.

This will most likely not make it in Yakkety.

I've talked to the Debian folks, as that's the preferred route for new software, and they're concerned about a possible move to tty1 for SDDM.

They plan on patching that and uploading that in the future.

In the meantime, I'll try to get backported fixes for the bugs you mentioned, as that's important to have. If you notice any other bugs I can backport fixes for, please respond here.

(either way, we might not be able to get SDDM 0.14 in previous releases (Xenial, Yakkety, etc.), so that will be what has to happen)

hi!

Anything `critical` holding this off to happen?

Debian has recently reached 2nd stage of freeze for Stretch & just 1 more stage is planned 'til FinalFreeze (4th stage). Nothing new there on this subject.

Some interesting lecture [1] why it's starting on tty1 anyway since SystemD. The is retrieved from the Arch-Linux-Wiki. ¬ This is not new. Ubuntu has very capable XOrg-people in their team. Ask there for help if you cannot proceed further from own powers.

  [ Simon Quigley ]
  * New upstream release (LP: #1627340).
  * Merge from Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Keep the default-display-manager file logic in sddm.postinst.
    - Keep kubuntu-specific patches:
      + kubuntu_nvidia-prime.diff
      + kubuntu_minimum_vt.diff instead of 03_vt7-minimum-vt.diff
  * Dropped changes:
    - Remove debian/patches/upstream_autologin_fallback.diff as it's
      reverse-applicable.
  * Refresh patches.

  [ Clive Johnston ]
  * Re-apply 02_kubuntu_use_breeze.diff
  * Update VCS to LP and replace maui theme for breeze in recommends.
