gdm3 43.0-3ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

gdm3 (43.0-3ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * d/tests: Don't reset root password.
    Even if the root password is blank, we want to assert that
    authentication still doesn't succeed, because we explicitly don't allow
    smart card authentication as root.
  * d/tests: Explicitly use blank input when checking for blank password.
    Otherwise we could block indefinitely when running tests that have an
    interactive console available.

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * debian/tests/control: Add explicit dependency on libpam-sss.
    Even though it could be an implicit one it's still what we're testing
  * debian/tests/sssd-gdm-smartcard-pam-auth-tester.sh: Some minor cleanups
  * debian/tests/control,
    debian/tests/sssd-gdm-smartcard-pam-auth-tester-env.sh Manually use sudo
    as ubuntu autopkgtest does not support needs-sudo yet
  * debian/gdm3.install: Do not list config files, just install all gdm3 ones
    That's used as is in ubuntu (where we install more data and we use the
    upstream `custom.conf` name for config file), so we don't have to diverge.
  * Merge with debian, remaining changes:
    + readme.debian: update for correct paths in ubuntu
    + control.in:
      - don't recommend desktop-base
      - depend on bash for config_error_dialog.patch
      - update vcs field
    + rules:
      - don't override default user/group
      - -dgdm-xsession=true to install upstream xsession script
      - override dh_installinit with --no-start to avoid session being killed
    + rules, readme.debian, gdm3.8.pod:
      use upstream custom.conf instead of daemon.conf
    + gdm3.{postinst,postrm}: rename user and group back to gdm
    + debian/tests/control:
      - Use gdm user name
      - Use needs-root instead of needs-sudo (to remove when ubuntu autopkgtest
        will be updated to include such feature)
    + debian/tests/sssd-gdm-smartcard-pam-auth-tester-env.sh:
      - Added to use needs-root autopkgtest instead of needs-sudo
    + gdm3.*.pam: make pam_env read ~/.pam_environment, as we use in g-c-c
      settings
    + gdm3.install:
      - don't install debian/xsession
    + add run_xsession.d.patch
    + add xresources_is_a_dir.patch
      - fix loading from /etc/x11/xresources/*
    + add nvidia_prime.patch:
      - add hook to run prime-offload (as root) and prime-switch if
        nvidia-prime is installed
    + add revert_override_lang_with_accountservices.patch:
      - on ubuntu accountservices only stores the language and not the
        full locale as needed by lang.
    + add dont_set_language_env.patch:
      - don't run the set_up_session_language() function, since it
        overrides variable values set by ~/.pam_environment
    + add config_error_dialog.patch:
      - show warning dialog in case of error in ~/.profile etc. and
        don't let a syntax error make the login fail
    + add debian/patches/revert_nvidia_wayland_blacklist.patch:
      - don't blacklist nvidia for wayland
    + add gdm3.service-wait-for-drm-device-before-trying-to-start-i.patch:
      - wait for the first valid gdm device on pre-start
    + add prefer_ubuntu_session_fallback.patch:
      - Prefer ubuntu session as fallback instead of GNOME
    + add XSession-Use-x-terminal-emulator-as-fallback-instead-of-x.patch:
      - Use x-terminal-emulator as fallback instead of xterm
    + add Revert-data-Disable-GDM-on-hybrid-graphics-laptops-with-v.patch:
      - Don't disable Wayland on hybrid graphics laptops
    + add debian/default.pa
      - disable bluetooth audio devices in pulseaudio from gdm3.
    + debian/gdm3.install
      - added details of the default.pa file
    + debian/gdm3.postinst
      - added installation of default.pa and creation of dir if it doesn't
        exist.
    + debian/greeter.dconf-defaults: don't set debian settings in the
      greeter's dconf db

gdm3 (43.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * debian/tests/control: Use multi-line Test-Command for easier
    maintenance
  * debian/tests/sssd-gdm-smartcard-pam-auth-tester.sh:
    Assert that entering the wrong PIN leads to authentication failure

  [ Patrice Duroux ]
  * d/rules: Generate one man page at a time.
    Otherwise, the content of one arbitrary .pod file gets duplicated into
    each of the man pages. (Closes: #1029839)

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * d/tests: Avoid autopkgtest failure if test user has blank password.
    If the test user has a blank password (which might be the case in an
    expendable test VM) and PAM accepts blank passwords, then
    gdm-smartcard-sssd-or-password will always authenticate successfully.
    If that's the case, temporarily change the user's password to be
    non-empty while running our tests. Also do the same for root.
  * Move dbus-daemon security policy from /etc to /usr/share
  * d/control.in: Drop unnecessary dependency on lsb-base
  * d/control.in: Remove Multi-Arch: same from gir1.2-gdm-1.0.
    It is not usefully multi-arch co-installable because it depends on
    libgdm1, which contains /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver.
  * d/po/sv.po: Transcode from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8
  * Update syntax of Lintian overrides
  * Standards-Version: 4.6.2 (no changes required)

gdm3 (43.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/gdm3-gdm-smartcard*: Do not fail if pam_succeed_if suceeded.
    We were not handling the success case in pam_succeed_if.so, and so even
    if other modules were successful, gdm-smartcard was failing with a
    permission denied error, because the pam_succeed_if default was bad, and
    this was applied to the success case too.
    Alternatively we could even just use success=ignore here, but it's
    better to be consistent with other usages. (LP: #1999884)
  * debian/gdm3.gdm-smartcard-sssd-or-password.pam: Always load gnome keyring
    and nologin.
    Ensure that we load the nologin and gnome-key-ring modules also if sss
    module succeeded.
  * debian/tests: Add autopkg tests testing gdm smartcard authentication.
    Create fake certificates from fake CA's and verify they can be used with
    from a virtual smartcard.
