The Ubuntu deb package is missing the "python-lxml" dependency and GDM3Setup doesn't start without this package.

I can't start gdm3setup on Debian Jessie. I'm getting message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gdm3setup", line 20, in
from GdmSetup import GdmSetupClient
ImportError: No module named GdmSetup

I can't find solution. I installed this package: https://github.com/Nano77/various/blob/master/deb/gdm3setup/debian/gdm3setup-20131026-1.deb

Using Manjaro Linux 16.08-pre1 with gdm 3.20.1

terminal output says otherwise; yet when restarting the application the default values are back - see the screenshots below:

The message in the auth.log is like

polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:c34 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.policykit.exec for unix-process

sudo still works. So it's most probably a gnome issue, and as it wokrd before using gdm3setup it most probably a gdm3setup issue.

Reinstalling gnome helped once, using gdm3setup breaks it again.

If more infos are needed i'll provide them gladly.

I installed gdm3setup and -utils from your github's repository.

There're few issues when installing:

make

sudo make install

gdm3setup

Not 100% sure of everything that needs changing. But the dependencies are slightly different. Instead of package gdm it's now gdm3. Also gdm isn't at /etc/gdm/ its at /etc/gdm3/

the latest deb package you posted "gdm3setup-20121023-2.deb" wouldn't get installed show this error msg :

Error : dependency is not satisfiable : gdm (>= 3)

I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04

Maybe this Ubuntu version is not supported ?

How can I install gdm3 from the zip file downloaded ?

Thanks for your answer :-)

Hi,

I'm not quite sure if this is a bug, but on both my machines (running Arch Linux x86) the background for the lock-screen is not changed any more.
It stopped working after the update to Gnome 3.4.

Kind regards,

David

hi, i installed the app in fedora 23 (make, make install)

when opening it, this is the result:

/usr/bin/gdm3setup:13: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, GdkPixbuf, GnomeDesktop, GObject, Gio, GLib

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named GdmSetup

any chance to start it?

Changing the login background resulted in a solid blue background.

Not sure if this is a GDM3 bug, but checking the option to disable the user list doesn't work.

I still get multiple users listed.

After enabling the automatic login feature in GDM3Setup and setting a timed login, GDM doesn't start and just freezes.

Tested on Ubuntu 12.10 with GDM3.6.

GDM3Setup sets this to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file:

[daemon]
TimedLoginDelay=30
TimedLogin=andrei
TimedLoginEnable=1
AutomaticLoginEnable=0

While the same configuration file seems to use a slightly different syntax (copy/paste from the file):

Enabling automatic login

AutomaticLoginEnable = true

AutomaticLogin = user1

Enabling timed login

TimedLoginEnable = true

TimedLogin = user1

TimedLoginDelay = 10

Update: oh, and one more thing: after enabling automatic login in GDM3Setup, if I disable it, the modifications GDM3Setup did to the /etc/gdm/custom.conf remain unchanged.

I have installed gdm3setup but I doesn't work, it doesn't load when I click on it.

Hello, I'm interested to update this to Gnome 3.20 and package it for Fedora. Is it alright for you?

I tried to choose wallpaper in "General" tab. I got:

(gdm3setup:11321): GnomeDesktop-WARNING **: Unable to create an input stream for file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/Signpost_of_the_Shadows.jpg: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

    self.LoadInformations(targetfile)
  File "/usr/bin/gdm3setup", line 225, in LoadInformations
    self.StartTime = int(nodeset[0].text)
IndexError: list index out of range

I created file Signpost_of_the_Shadows.jpg by copying another one, to eliminate first bug. I don't even know if it's related to gdm3setup, but it's first time I got it.

gdm3setup works after this bug.

I'm using Debian Jessie with:
https://github.com/Nano77/various/blob/master/deb/gdm3setup/debian/gdm3setup-20131026-1.deb
https://github.com/Nano77/various/blob/master/deb/gdm3setup-utils/debian/gdm3setup-utils-20131030-1.deb

I'm on Debian Jessie with Gnome 3.14 and I can't login unless I manually start gdm3 in a tty.
It seems to affect all the login windows.

I installed gdm3setup-utils-20140306-1.deb and gdm3setup-20140209-1.deb.

There's missing option for change of shell theme on GDM 3.16.2. Tested on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 and Fedora 22.

Hi Nano77,

first, I am very surprised to be able now to change the GDM settings. Many thanks for this exiting tool! But the German translation is not really good. I have tweaked it a bit.

I have tried the debian package and the git master, but I always get follwing ImportError when trying to run gdm3setup.py.

I am on Debian wheezy, and python-gnomedesktop is installed.

This happens when you try to change the background at 00:xx hours. I changed my system time and was then able to change it successfully :D

Running latest version (20130207-1) on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

After a recent upgrade I get the following error when I start gdm3.

Might this be a problem in a dependency or in gdm3setup? Need any environment info?
