If you think about it, it may be useful to connect some devices automatically (or be able to connect them manually) from login screen such as bluetooth keyboard or mouse, for example if your main keyboard or touchpad are broken. Maybe other accessibility devices too. Hmm, not sure how possible this would be. Created attachment 132769 [details]
Login/lockscreen info displayed in GDM/Gnome for comparison
Tested it in Ubuntu 20.10 (with Gnome) just for comparison:
1. Gnome has an indication of the connected device on both login and lock screens - you can click on the top panel to see the name of the connected device. You can control the volume too.
2. The headset also connects before login and you cannot disconnect it - bluetooth button is not available on the panel.
3. The headset doesn't get disconnected after login, however the audio output is not automatically switched to the headset and there is no headset audio device in settings at all.
So... Not sure about connecting/disconnecting (this is probably not a bug or broken by design), but I believe at least displaying more info on login/lockscreen can be done?
Would be interesting to see how othes OSes deal with this (I don't have Windows or OS X available).
I see. Should be possible then. |
