I think they need to know their username and type it into the list, and then it just keeps the most recent N number of names in the dropdown. I ran into this myself at one point at home. I think you minght need to poke around in here: https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/3.12/configuration.html.en and see what you find. How many logins do you want to show? Look in /etc/gdm/custom.conf and add this to the [greeter] section: [greeter] IncludeAll=true It might do the trick. > I was wondering what configurations effects this behavior?

Can the kids still log in? I wonder if the issue is with the gdm3 list limiting how many users it'll show or something. Tim.

Ubuntu with SSSD

by Kevin Harrington

I have a lab full of Ubuntu 22.04 machines and have (finally) set them all up with AD login via SSSD As i was testing, new SSSD users were added to the Gnome3 Greeter bage. Somewhere along the way with testing, new users stopped being added to the greeter page. The ones added previously automatically are still there, but new ones are not being added. I was wondering what configurations effects this behavior? I want the little kids names added to the list so they can just click on their name and enter their password. Here is my setup script: https://github.com/BancroftSchoolOpenSource/UbuntuSetupScript Any tips would be helpful! -- Bancroft School 110 Shore Dr, Worcester, MA 01605 *T:* 508-853-2640 | *F*: 508-853-7824 www.bancroftschool.org <http://www.bancroftschool.org>

Re: Debian 12 networking

by Kevin Stratton

If you become desperate with this, it might be worth the time to confirm that your SD card is accepting writes. Creating a text file then verifying that it is still there on reboot should be sufficient. When I had the sd card issue with my PI3 it was otherwise silent (it must have been working from ram). I have heard that SD cards can fail where they stop accepting all writes after too many writes to them. Otherwise, I not of any help. It has been a LONG time since I have used depmod and related, which I assume will be needed to update the kernel modules.

Zimma Board

by Kevin Stratton

This might be old news and off the Raspberry 5 topic. I have been looking at the Zimma Board for a SBC to mess with. It is a different type of board for a different use case. I am mostly focused on the performance and SATA port(s). I do not like burning out SD cards. Possible uses: 1) open media vault 2 drive NAS 2) Low end (low power, low budget) web page server 3) pihole with a firewall (x86 build) I would like to know if anyone has an opinion on this board.
