Bug Description
In Oneiric 11.10 the default desktop manager is LightDM which is not supported by timekpr.
From the default installation timekpr will not block user login.
Furthermore Unity is not supported to display the timekpr client panel icon.
I think bug #880326 may be related.

- timekpr and pam (pam_time.so) + Timekpr does not support 11.10 Unity and LightDM |
To post a comment you must log in.
Timekpr can be used in 11.10 with LightDM to setup restrictions for users by adding the following line to /etc/pam.d/lightdm
account required pam_time.so
(We may need to remove libpam-smbpass to enable user switching until bug #835310 is fixed.)
Unfortunaley so far we haven't found a way to get the timekpr status icon (and notification) displayed. Whitelist 'timekpr' or 'all' for Unity panel did not work any more (it was fine in 11.04)
