To get the gdm menu working :-) The above is from the console. I can: 1. Change the custom.conf to any of the valid users while in the desktop (after getting there by autologin first). Example, from the 'gg' desktop, change to 'ggserv': [daemon] AutomaticLogin=ggserv AlwaysLoginCurrentSession=false AutomaticLoginEnable=true TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin=ggserv TimedLoginDelay=30 DefaultSession=gnome.desktop 2. Ctrl-Alt-F1-6 and get to the console and login as 'gg' (that username has admin privileges). Note: I can also use nano to change custom.conf after console login of course. 3. 'sudo stop gdm' then 'sudo start gdm' that will bring up the 'ggserv' desktop. If I want to switch back to 'gg' I cannot use the gdm menu, I must go back to the console, change the custom.conf again back to 'gg' (Ctrl-Alt-F1), and then start/stop gdm to get back to the 'gg' desktop. Confusing, but that is the only way that I can switch to another user. -- pam_unix(gdm:auth): conversation failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
