Why are you not checking your logs for what is happening?
I do not use Angstrom so cant really be of much use other than suggesting what upstream expects the package to "act" like. On one of my arch installs I installed GDM and setup passwordless logins as the DOCs for GDM suggest. Have you tried the non timed option? AutomaticLogin=username AutomaticLoginEnable=True Also have you this this in pam.d/gdm? auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin then add a nopasswdlogin group and add the user to it? Not sure what version of GDM you're on. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
