Accessibility setting lost on Gnome login screen

English Install/Boot/Login

I always use Accessiblity setting > Seeing > Large Text on my monitors. This setting works after logon to Gnome shell version 50.1. It has also worked previously on the startup login screen, but not lately where the login screen/menu comes with smaller, default text/size each time.

Is there some special setting now for the login screen to be saved?

AI search mentions “copy your user font preferences into the system-wide GDM profile or Alternative: Global UI Display Scaling”. None of these has been required previously.

Cheers,

@terjejh I’m on Tumbleweed but see the accessibility icon bottom right on GDM?

Yes, the same on Slowroll. The issue is it does not remember the last setting as it did previously, but roll back to the default for each startup.

After login the desktop has the customized setting, even if one login with the default setting.

The I would suggest a bug report, maybe @iznogood can offer a suggestion?

Looks like this issue is known already

Yeah this is probably fallout from changes in gnome-shell / gdm, as you have found out.
That said, filing a bug would not hurt, as we have “work todo” in gdm (remove the static gdm system user) as it is now dynamically created since gdm 49.
