GDM - Face list

[MALEADt]

Hi all,

I just came across plenty of brainstorm ideas asking for the same thing: the Human list as default theme for GDM. Tt is way more user friendly, though it still supports the "old" way of entering your credentials. I even found a blueprint, with specifications describing to default the ubuntu login to a face browser. It also talks about a fancy OpenGL based facebrowser, of which there is also an article on ArsTechnica.

Therefore my question: what is the status of this OpenGL based facebrowser, and will it (or if not finished yet, the Human List theme) be default for Ibex as proposed for Hardy?

This is what you're talking about, right?
You can contact MacSlow, the developer, and ask him directly.

Idea already planned for Intrepid Ibex.

In no way has this been discussed recently if at all in inclusion for 8.10. This is the artwork team's area.

It is planned for Intrepid as I heard from one developer.

The developer told me that it is still planned in time for Intrepid. Whether it is default or not is another question.

What? That doesn't make sense.

There's a face browser GDM for Hardy too, but it's not the default.

It's planned for Intrepid but it might not be the default? What?

I think you are refering to the 'Human List'.

There is a new 'Face Browser' planned - see the Specification and examples from the developer.

The developer intends for this to be finished in time for inculsion in Intrepid. (This answers the first part of the original question.)

And to answer the second part of the original question, I do not know whether it will be default in Intrepid (or if the current 'Human List' will be made default).

You should have been more clear that a complete new GDM face browser was being developed, all you said was "The developer told me that it is still planned in time for Intrepid."

Posts 1 and 2 clearly talk about the new development underway. However I appreciate I could have been clearer in my response.
