Fast user switch

[shuihuzhuan free fr]

Hi,

I will try but then the session keyring won't be unlocked at login and it can complicate things afterwards
(just speculating, and needs to be tried). What I would like is bypass gdm login screen when switching
between open sessions. Something like that :

1 - I'm connected and the only connected user. My wife wants to connect. She chooses "switch user ...",
gdm appears and she connects.
2 - Then I want to go back to my session. Below or above "switch user ...", there's a list of already
connected users. I choose my name and I'm back to my session (locked or unlocked, it depends on the locking settings I choose).

Or ideally, a static list of fast-switching-users is always displayed (possibly with a check indicating if it's already
connected or not). You only have to choose your name in the list. If you are already connected (or with
password-less login), it switches to/opens directly your session, else it opens gdm with the right user already
selected and you only have to type your password in.

I don't think this bypasses any security thing, it just eases switching between sessions.

Do you think it could fit into the actual design? Is it possible with an extension?

And thanks for your suggestions.

Hi,



I wouldn’t run passwd –d username, that will allow anyone to remote into your machine with no password unless I’m mistaking... There is an option somewhere to allow password-less logins on the UI, I’d use that if I were you.



Cheers,
