We now have everything in place to replace Tweener for all animatable
properties with implicit animations, which has the following benefits:
- they run entirely in C, while Tweener requires context switches
to JS each frame
- they are more reliable, as Tweener only detects when an animation
is overwritten with another Tween, while Clutter considers any
property change
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/22
The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.

Since version 1.50.0, gjs defines GObject.NotImplementedError for throwing

Instead of just passing a scale when getting a cached icon, pass both a
'paint_scale', the scale of which the icon will be painted on the
stage, and a 'resource_scale', the scale of the resource used for
painting.
In effect, the texture size will use the scale 'paint_scale * resource_scale'
in a ceiled value while the size of the actor will use 'paint_scale' when
determining the size.
this would load a bigger texture, but the downscaling would keep the visual
quality.

Certain keybindings should continue to work even when a popup
menu is on screen. For instance, the keybinding for showing
the app menu and the keyinding for showing the calendar are
examples.
This is achieved by putting in place a special "POPUP" action
mode, whenever a popup menu is active. This mode replaces
the (e.g., "NORMAL" or "OVERVIEW") action mode that was in place
for as long as the popup menu is active.
But those keybindings should not work when the user is at the
unlock dialog (which uses an action mode of "UNLOCK").
Unfortunately, since commit c79d24b6 they do.
This commit addresses the problem by forcing the action mode
to NONE at the unlock screen when popups are visible.

When in lockscreen mode there's no point of resetting the auth login as there's
no welcome screen, and that would just cause the UI to freeze, with no reason.
This could have been useful if we were stopping the user to login for a given
time after ALLOWED_FAILURES attempts, but this is not the case yet.
When we get a reset signal the preemptiveAnswer should be also unset or it will
be used next time the user authPrompt will be activated, even without any further
user interaction.
Fixes#311
The _blockTimedLoginUntilIdle method sets a timeout to be called after
the user is idle for 5 seconds. That timeout is erroneously given the
source name "[gnome-shell] this._timedLoginAnimationTime" which looks
like a copy-and-paste mistake. The original intention was probably to
use a source name of "[gnome-shell] this._timedLoginIdleTimeOutId" which
more closely matches existing convention for source names.
This commit fixes that.
Make sure the focus isn't grabbed right after user interaction starts a
new timed login. Only grab it after the idle timeout is done and on the
first run instead.
Normally, we give the user a 5 second grace period of inactivity before
starting a timed login operation. Unfortunately, that grace period
timeout isn't properly removed if the timed login operation is restarted
during the grace period. That means the timeout handler can
inadvertently get called multiple times leading to the grace period
duration getting subtracted from the total animation time more than
once.
This commit ensures we only ever have one grace period timeout scheduled
at a time.
The timed login feature currently cancels the timed login operation when
a user presses a key but, oddly, only hides the indicator when the user
releases the key. This means that if a user holds down a key that
doesn't key repeat, the timed login indicator will continue to run after
the timed login operation is cancelled.
This commit address the problem by ensuring the timed login indicator is
hidden on any key press event, at the same time the timed login
operation is canceled.
When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

Right now we emit session-activated any time the bullet
moves in the session menu. That includes at startup when
picking an item arbitrarily, and any time GDM reports the
session was read from the user's account settings.
session-activated informs GDM about the newly selected session,
so emitting it in response to GDM reporting a session is a
bad idea.
This commit changes the code to only emit session-activated when
the user explicitly activates a session item from the gear menu.
Note, we no longer set the active session explicitly at start up.
This is a good thing since the item we were picking wasn't
necessarily correct. It does means if GDM fails to inform us
about the correct default session we'll now show no bullet instead
of a bullet on the wrong item.

gnome-shell currently initiates an automatic login attempt if
timed login is enabled and the timed login animation completes.
Unfortunately, if animations are disabled (as is the case for
virtual machines) then the timed login animation will complete
instantly, and timed login will proceed immediately after gnome-shell
has noticed the user is idle for 5 seconds.
This commit addresses that problem by initiating timed login and the
animation from a main loop timeout, instead of using the tweener api.
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible

While we've always considered it good style to initialize JS properties,
some code that relies on uninitialized properties having an implicit
value of 'undefined' has slipped in over time. The updated SpiderMonkey

even though all warnings addressed here occur in conditionals that
produce the correct result with 'undefined'.

The user list uses the same indication for hover and focus, so it
is possible for two items to be highlighted at the same time. Using
different styling would improve the situation, but only to some
extent - the user would still need to figure out which highlight
corresponds to which activation method. So instead, copy the
approach we use in popup menus and use a single property for
highlights that is updated by both focus- and hover changes.

If the user clicks Not Listed? to enter ask for username mode, clicks
cancel, and then attempts to log in via the user list, the user will see
"Authentication failed" after correctly typing the password, and then
will become stuck in an empty screen with just the gray noise background.
The problem is, we forgot to disconnect from the signal that's waiting
for the next button to be pressed on the username entry screen. Since
the signal handler that executes here is expecting the username to be
input, and isn't prepared for us to have switched back to user list,
various bad things happen. We try to start two gdm-password
conversations at once, for instance, one using the user's password as
the username. I stopped investigating here, because it's easy to fix by
disconnecting from the signal at the right time.

The Next and Sign In buttons are disabled when the username/password

the button is disabled.

Generally a user-changed operation will be uninteresting, but if the
user is currently in the user list and the account changes to locked, we
want to remove it from the list, or if the user is not in the list and
the account changed to unlocked, we want to add it to the list. This
fixes the case where a new user account created in gnome-control-center
does not appear in the user list. The password mode is set in the new
account immediately after it is created, but the operations are not
atomic, so the login dialog considers the new user account when it is
still locked and rejects it from being displayed, then immediately
afterwards the account is unlocked. This commit causes the login dialog
to show the account when this occurs.
The containsUser() check here is not strictly necessary, but reduces
spurious calls to addUser() and removeUser(), since there's no easy way
to check if the locked status of the account has changed (as it's much
easier to connect to one signal on the UserManager than to
notify::locked on each User object).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758568
LoginDialog has a private _user, but UserListItem has a public user.
Easy to get wrong since _user would be the right thing to type in 90% of

We currently will always allocate the user list's preferred size, so it

get the desired scrolling behavior when necessary.

When the user successfully types their password, we should hide
the spinner from the button well right away, so it doesn't
consume resources until reset (which may happen significantly later
if the user is vt switched away)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753891
The code previously tried to stop spinner after it was hidden, but
due to an incorrect check was only stoppig it after it was shown.
Also, it was only stopping after hiding due to an animation, and
failing to stop it in the non-animated case.
This left the spinner hidden and running while VT switched away
from the login screen, only stopping when the auth prompt was
reset when switching back.

We only need the user verifier for the purpose of user verification.
Once it's complete we should clear it so it doesn't get in the way

This fixes a bug introduced in commit 3c8c5a5570 that leads to the
user session crashing when the login screen is reactivated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753181
We fade out the authentication prompt when a user successfully
logs into a user session. We reset it and fade it back in when
the user switches back to the login screen VT.
The problem is, we only fade it back in if the auth prompt status is
VERIFICATION_SUCCEEDED. It's possible for it to be NOT_VERIFYING
if the authprompt gets reset for some other reason in the interim.
This commit changes the check to be more precise. We now only skip
the fade-in, if we're already faded in, and we only skip the reset if
we're already reset.

The user should be allowed to cancel if verification hasn't

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752739
Normally the user isn't allowed to proceed passed
the username question until they've filled it in.
To ensure this, the authprompt code desensitizes
the next button when the number of characters change to
zero.
Unfortunately it fails to desensitize the next button
up front when the entry starts out empty.
This commit addresses that bug.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752739
If the next button ever gets set to Sign In, it won't

We currently only cancel the user verifier on reset if
verifying, but that means we don't properly cancel it when

It's possible for a user to type their password so quickly
that GDM hasn't even had time to ask for the password yet,
much less have time to process the answer.
In that situation, we tuck the user response away as
_preemptiveAnswer, and pass it along to GDM when GDM is finally
ready for it.
The problem is, there's a bug in the code, where we send
null for the service name in the answer, instead of the right
service name (say "gdm-password").
This commit addresses the bug by making sure we don't pass the
answer along, until the service name is properly set in
_queryingService. To ensure that, answering query (answerQuery)
based on _preemptiveAnswer has been shifted right below
this._queryingService = serviceName;

There's some vestigial code for hiding the user list

We currently use the setActiveSession method to both mark a menu item as
selected, and also tell gdm about the current session the user selected.
Since gdm is ultimately in charge of the state, we should decouple this
and simply ask gdm to set the session, and have the menu item reflect
what gdm thinks is the current session.
This prevents state getting mismatched and oscillations from happening,
where we get in a loop of constantly telling gdm what the session is.

Frequently banner messages are longer than can reasonable
fit in a one column view, which leads to a smooshed layout.
This commit changes the layout to a two column view, with the
banner on the left and the prompt on the right, if the banner
message is long enough that it can't fit well above the prompt.
If there isn't enough space for two columns then we keep the
one column layout but add scrollbars.

The login screen supports showing a banner message which admins
can use to mention login rules or disclaimers.
This message only shows up currently if the user list is enabled.
Most people who want to show a banner message also want to disable
the user list.
This commit moves the banner message to display when the user is
prompted for login credentials instead of when showing the user
list. It also adds a scrollbar if the message is too long.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
The login screen is pretty custom full screen container and the standard
layout managers aren't really a good fit for the kind of layout that's
happening. This will be even more problematic with upcoming changes
to login banners, so we need to switch techniques.

that has specific domain knowledge of the parts of the login screen
and where they go.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703972
If the user list is disabled and the user clicks cancel quickly enough
after typing their username, they can get in a state where the
auth prompt gets stuck in the insensitive state.
This is because the login dialog code makes the prompt insensitive
while while pam is processing the provided username, but the prompt
only makes itself sensitive again when it is hidden.
This commit makes it sensitive right before asking for a username again.

The smartcard service is put in the foreground in two cases:
1) If password service is disabled by admin configuratoin
2) if a smartcard is inserted

We only want to react to the card the user logged in with, at
the unlock screen. We check "at the unlock screen" by checking
the "reauthenticating" state variable. That variable is the

set at the login screen, too. We should be checking this._reauthOnly
instead.

Loading the user list can be expensive, for instance when there is

Right now we queue populating the user list in the middle of setting
up the dialog actors. Of course, the actual population happens some time
later after going back to the main loop.
It's more logical to structure the code so the the actors are

This commit moves the user list population enqueuing operation to the
bottom of the constuctor.

In some cases we load the user list after going back
to main loop and in other cases we load the user list
right away (depending on if accounts service is ready).
In the case we load the user list right away we cause a

which then tries to reset actors which aren't instantiated
yet.
This commit ensures the user list is loaded after the constructor

state.

After a user types in their password at the login screen, one
of two things can happen
1) a new session is started
2) an existing session is switched to
In the latter case, GDM sends a reset signal to the login screen,
so it knows to go back to the user list and wait to be summoned
again.
Unfortunately, all reset signals are ignored after verification
success. The reason is because the reset handler was copied from
the unlock dialog as part of a deduplication effort in commit
7e7295f259 and the unlock dialog
handler at the time also emitted a "failed" signal on reset
(which wouldn't make sense to emit after success).
These days "failed" is handled in a different way.
This commit changes the code to let reset signals through after
successful verification.

oVirt is software for managing medium-to-large scale deployments of
virtual machine guests across multiple hosts. It supports a feature
where users can authenticate with a central server and get
transparently connected to a guest system and then automatically get logged
into that guest to an associated user session.
Guests using old versions of GDM support this single-sign-on capability
by means of a greeter plugin, using the old greeter's extension
API.
This commit adds similar support to the gnome-shell based login screen.
How it works:
* The OVirtCredentialsManager singleton listens for
'org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials.UserAuthenticated'
D-Bus signal on the system bus from the
'org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials'
bus name. The service that provides that bus name is called
the oVirt guest agent. It is also responsible for interacting
with the the central server to get user credentials.
* This UserAuthenticated signal passes, as a parameter, the a token
which needs to be passed through to the PAM service that is specifically
set up to integrate with the oVirt authentication architecture.
The singleton object keeps the token internally so it can be queried
later on.
* The OVirtCredentialsManager emits a signal 'user-authenticated' on
it's object once the dbus signal is triggered
* When the 'user-authenticated' signal is emitted, the login screen
tells GDM to start user verification using the PAM service. The
authentication stack of the service includes a PAM module
provided by oVirt that securely retrieves user credentials
from the oVirt guest agent. The PAM module then forwards those
credentials on to other modules in the stack so, e.g.,
the user's gnome keyring can be automatically unlocked.
* In case of the screen shield being visible, it also will react on that
'user-authenticated' signal and lift the shield.
In that case the login screen will check on construction time if
the signal has already been triggered, and a token is available.
If a token is available it will immediately trigger the functionality
as described above.

A conversation is finished after failing, and we are expecting a new
one to be started shortly after. However if we encounter an existing
reference to a previously set _queryingService, we will clear the
password entry, which might already contain a partially typed password
at that point. The behavior does make sense in the case of conflicting
conversations, but in the failure case it is both unexpected and
annoying, so clear _queryingService early to prevent this.
