@Charlie Kravetz: read the full bug log and try it for yourself. it is still broken in xubuntu 11.04 which makes ubuntu an unusable option for kiosk installations where auto-relogin must happen.
in my books that's a rather serious problem. see subject change by Kees Cook (kees) on 2009-12-03 which diverges from the chatter in the original report and first bunch of messages in the report. i.e. "gdm ignores timed/auto login on all but first greeter run" ... & it does! (this is not invalid. this has nothing to do with upgrading any more; tested on a new install) thanks, Hamish -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463314 Title: gdm ignores timed/auto login on all but first greeter run Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged Status in Xubuntu: Invalid Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Mythbuntu upgraded pretty smoothly from 9.04 to 9.10 RC over the Net. I initiated the upgrade with the command line "sudo update-manager -d". The conversion seemed to go ok. All previous recordings were still accessable, showing the database was ok. After the upgrade and reboot, the first thing I noticed is that, Mythbuntu 9.10 askes me to log in every time as user eric. It didn't do this in version 9.04, before the upgrade. Before, Mythtv launched at bootup and no login was required.
