Bug#857742: unblock: sddm/0.14.0-4
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Dear release team,
I would like to add some fixes to the sddm currently in stretch. The fixes are
(sorted in decreasing severity):
+ Fix #853843 regression for radeon.
The current version of sddm 0.14.0 in stretch triggers a HiDPI QT5 bug
(#857648) in some video cards, which results in a regression for some users
of the 0.13.0 version. In order to fix this I've added an upstream patch
that adds a configuration option for the HiDPI support [1], and also set
the option to false by default, that way we avoid the regression.
+ Create the home dir if not present (postinst).
sddm postrm doesn't try to stop the daemon on purge, as, being a display
manager, it would probably end the user session by doing so. As a result,
on purge, deluser refuses to delete the system user that's being used, but
the postrm will happily delete the sddm's homedir. This causes that
reinstalling sddm after a purge will end up with no homedir, which is
needed for the normal behavior of sddm.
+ Drop the forced pam_systemd.so rules from the pam rules (#850006)
+ Fix #856195, user facing issue, using the wrong "uri" to check the
existence of the avatars files [2].
The version of sddm 0.14.0-4 is currently in sid and has already build in all
the release architectures.
I'm attaching the debdiff from the version 0.14.0-2 currently in testing
against the requested version 0.14.0-4 currently in unstable.
Please unblock package sddm
