| yuhlw_ | Hi, we have a setup of a group a desktop where the user can log into one of the many desktop. It uses nfs and automount. Unfortunately, when a user log in, a process try to figure out the list of all the users on this desktop. It mounts a lot of nfs-ressources, takes a lot of time, and the "system icon" on top right get a huge list of user. How can we do, as a sysadmin way, to get rid of this list of user ? | 09:47 |

| Trevinho | yuhlw_: so... | 11:47 |
| Trevinho | yuhlw_: I was looking at the thing | 11:47 |
| Trevinho | yuhlw_: but this is done always by indicator-session backend | 11:48 |
| Trevinho | yuhlw_: see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-session/trunk.16.10/view/head:/src/backend-dbus/users.c | 11:48 |
| Trevinho | yuhlw_: so, if you don't want to patch it (patch could be accepted upstream) to add a setting not to list users... | 11:48 |
| Trevinho | yuhlw_: as a workaround I guess you can make org.freedesktop.Accounts ListCachedUsers not callable... I guess you can do that with some apparmor settings, so that these users won't be allowed to call this. Causing the indicator to fail to fetch the users list | 11:50 |
| yuhlw_ | Trevinho: It feels for me a really hard task to patch this :/. | 11:54 |
| yuhlw_ | I was somehow wishing/expecting a *simpler* solution. Thanks for your time and your response. | 11:55 |
| Trevinho | yuhlw_: the apparmor thing shouldn't be that hard though... | 11:56 |
| yuhlw_ | Trevinho: ok | 11:56 |
| yuhlw_ | Trevinho: I'll dig this one. Again. Thank you ! | 11:56 |
| seb128 | seems like a workaround, we could add a gsettings to indicator-session to not build the users list | 11:57 |
| yuhlw_ | In our situation, we do have 2 issues: 1) unity try to find out the list of the user and their home. And for that, they nfs mount all the /home/*. 2) the top level icon, shows a huge list of users that is a bit puzzling when you do have 30 users. | 12:07 |
| yuhlw_ | to add to the point 1) the process of mounting 30 different nfs mounts, takes time. And even more time when one of the desktop is off. | 12:08 |
| yuhlw_ | Actually we find out that there is a setting named: com.canonical.indicator.session user-show-menu that do not show the list of user. | 12:12 |

| mverkleij | Heya! | 16:43 |
| mverkleij | I had a question about the alt-tab switcher behaviour | 16:43 |
| mverkleij | I am missing a few windows | 16:47 |
| mverkleij | more specifically, I have a piece of java software that displays a dialog box, that is not included in the app switcher | 16:48 |
| === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader | ||
| dandrader | mverkleij, if it's run inside xmir, I think they will all be put inside the same x root window, which is what unity8 sees | 17:26 |
| dandrader | I don't think xmir/libertine has proper multi-window support yet.... | 17:27 |
| bregma | dandrader, I think you mean Unity 8 does not have proper multi-window support yet: X11 has had multi-window support for decades | 17:35 |
