arctica-greeter/src/arctica-greeter.vala, branch 0.99.1.2

src/arctica-greeter.vala: Use set_decorated(false) on main_window, rather than fullscreen(). With fullscreen() Arctica Greeter's main window gets only shown on the primary monitor and one cannot let the login box follow the pointing device to the active monitor anymore.

Remove mlockall.

2019-03-17T16:25:46+00:00

Protect memory from being paged to disk, as we deal with passwords According to systemd-dev, "mlockall() is generally a bad idea and certainly has no place in a graphical program. A program like this uses lots of memory and it is crucial that this memory can be paged out to relieve memory pressure." With systemd version 239 the ulimit for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was set to 16 MiB and therefore the mlockall call would fail. This is lucky becasue the subsequent mmap would not fail. With systemd version 240 the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is now set to 64 MiB and now the mlockall no longer fails. However, it not possible to mmap in all the memory and because that would still exceed the MEMLOCK limit. " See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1662857 & https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/lightdm/issues/55 RLIMIT_MEMLOCK = 64 MiB means, arctica-greeter will most likely fail with 64 bit and will always fail on 32 bit systems. Hence we better disable it. Ported from Unity Greeter / Slick Greeter. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1815493 https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/pull/127

Posix.Signal.: Provide old-style Posix.SIG API calls if built with Vala API version << 0.40. (Fixes FTBFS on Debian 9).

Use Posix.Signal.* rather than Posix.SIG*. (Vala 0.40 deprecations).

Also add a setting so the user can disable HiDPI support.

src/arctica-greeter.vala: Clear the AT_SPI_BUS property on the root window on exit, so the user session components won't fail to connect.

greeter: Avoid expensive Python calls when it isn't needed.

2018-03-12T20:08:14+00:00

On non Debian/Ubuntu systems, the /etc/default/keyboard path does not exist. To prevent expensive Python startup (and hundreds/thousands of stats + follow-up loads) we'll reduce to an initial early stat, i.e. if the non-standard file exists only then will we exectute the helper stub. This is most useful on systems that employ systemd for the X11 keyboard configuration (`00-keyboard.conf` from systemd-localed) so that the X server already has the correct layout upon starting up. This approach also avoids unnecessary xkbcomp calls forcing recompilation of non-cached assets. Signed-off-by: Ikey Doherty
