Sometime during the recent updates the “Don’t show me anymore” button has disappeared from the Welcome Greeter. Is that by design or oversight?
Also over the last week there have been almost daily updates to the Greeter/Welcome script. Are those real updates or is the version number being changed by some automated script?
That’s by design. “Don’t show me anymore” was a bit confusing to many people, so it was decided to be removed. Note that there’s another way to stop seeing the welcome app, by disabling it in the Application Autostart.
And the frequent updates were a result of development of more features, including fixing a small but pesky bug.
I have to plead guilty here. It is because of a bug I reported - and which is finally fixed, thanks @manuel - that the Welcome package has been so modified…
You know, I’m Bugman after all. And I found another weird bug if you’re using Mate with Seahorse. It breaks logout / reboot / shutdown process with Gnome-keyring 3.34.0. A downgrade is needed. See this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63995
Using EndeavourOS in a virtualmachine helped me nailing the bug.
Hello gents!
Just finished my EndeavourOS install with Plasma, everything works.
But I just can’t disable the EndeavourOS Welcome greeter, and it doesn’t shows up in the setings/autostart.
Suggestions?
It is possible to disable it by editing file /etc/xdg/autostart/welcome.desktop and setting value:
Hidden=true
In fact we recently removed the button “Don’t show me anymore” from the Welcome app.
We could put it back for DEs that do not work well with autostart. I hope it can be done this week.
