Hi ,
While creating a customized distro for raspiberrypi 2 with meta-gnome
layer, the login screen username in the gdm_2.32.2.bb in
the USERADD_PARAM_${PN} (line number 89) is gdm but no password is
specified. Hence, when we are unable to login as /etc/shadow file has an
entry '!' instead of '*' as password for user 'gdm'.
To have a workaround for this, I created an encrypted password for 'root'
and added the same. Please go through the patch :
*keshav@L-41WKG32:~/workspace/yocto/meta-openembedded$ git diff
meta-gnome/recipes-gnome/gdm/gdm_2.32.2.bb <http://gdm_2.32.2.bb>*

${localstatedir}/lib/gdm --user-group gdm"*
* pkg_postinst_${PN} () {*
* # Register up as default dm*
Here, I have two suggestions :
1. The username could be more specific such as 'gnome' or something
2. The password could be specified such as 'root' or an entry in the
gdm.conf file for a passwordless login for that user.
Kindly suggest.
Also, I am very new to this so can I send a patch for this. Please suggest.
Thanks
Keshav
