lightdm (1.10.2-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Use logind to provide the list of seats to use. This is disabled unless
      logind-load-seats (in [LightDM] section) is set to true. This is the
      default behaviour in lightdm 1.12. (LP: #1190581)
    - Fix crash if running script hooks with non-X display servers.
      (LP: #1305006)
    - Add a seat option 'allow-user-switching' that can disable all user
      switching for that seat. (LP: #1350357)
    - Make PAM services configurable. (LP: #1348251)
    - Add liblightdm method to get user UID. (LP: #1370327)
    - Add a new session type 'mir-container' that allows the session to run
      inside a custom system compositor. (LP: #1359332)
    - Add --show-config option that shows combined configuration.
    - Use XDG_SESSION_ID from PAM instead of using the logind D-Bus API.
      (LP: #1364725)
    - Make socket writing code used between greeter and daemon more robust to
      errors.
    - Correct section name in default users.conf file.
    - Fix tests failing with Qt 5.3 due to it checking getuid/geteuid which we
      are faking.
    - Fix small memory leaks.
    - Test improvements

Title:
  Support disabling of user switching per seat

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in Light Display Manager 1.10 series:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in “lightdm” source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  No method of disabling user switching for LightDM. Some system administrators require this. There are methods to disable this inside the session but it is preferrable for a single method of doing this.

  [Test Case]
  1. Disable user switching in the LightDM configuration:
   [SeatDefaults]
   allow-user-switching=false
  2. Start LightDM
  3. Log in
  4. Attempt to switch user
  Expected result:
  User is unable to switch
  Observed result:
  Currently not supported - switching is allowed

  [Regression Potential]
  There is some risk of unrelated code being changed. This has been reduced by the use of regression tests, manual testing and providing this in the Ubuntu Desktop PPA.
