Hi


The AutoLogin setting in gdm.conf seems to only work on the local machine -
the ltsp server console itself. If I enable it, I can expect to never see
the gdm greeter and I just blast right through to the desktop of the user I
put on the AutomaticLogin= line. Good, I understand how that works.

But I cannot get this behaviour on the remote, ltsp thin clients. The
TimedAutoLogin setting effects the remote clients, though, but has a DELAY
setting of 5 seconds minimum, leaving the greeter available for an attempted
login by someone else.

To avoid confusion, I wanted the AutoLogin behaviour to work on the clients
to completely bypass the gdm greeter,.

For the life of me I cannot get this to work, and am thinking it's maybe
just not supposed to...?

Any aditional suggestions appreciated.


This is what does happen. Spend ages in the source code to see what you could achieve.

Console AuoLogin first, then TimedLogin on subsequent logins.
Xterms TimedLogin only.

You can fiddle the TimedLogin time in the source (I did)

I'm using autologin in gdm on two terminals and greeter logins on 38 other terminals, all from the same server and gdm. The greeter is never shown on the two autologin terminals, and always shown on the 38 other terminals. My server runs in text mode - is it possible that having gdm controlling the console is the problem?
