(LP: #396459) * Add 81_initial_server_on_vt7.patch: Force initial X server to go to tty7 instead of tty1. This is an Ugly Hack until we have a cleaner solution for getty not to tramp over a running X server on vt1. This bandaids the immediate problem of the first X server being killed after a few minutes due to getty on tty1 timing out.

# GDM System Defaults Configuration file. # # This file should not be updated by hand. Since GDM 2.13.0.4, configuration # choices in the GDM System Configuration file (/etc/gdm/gdm.conf) will # override the default values specified in this file. # # If you were using an older version of GDM, your system may have the the older # gdm.conf configuration file on the system. If so, then this file is used # instead of the GDM Custom Configuration file for backwards support. If you # make changes to the GDM Custom Configuration file and they seem to not be # taking effect, this is likely the problem. Consider migrating your # configuration to the new configuration file and removing the gdm.conf file. # # You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom # file. Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just # the most common ones that users want to change. If you feel that gdmsetup # should support additional configuration options, please file a bug report at # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. # # If you hand-edit the GDM configuration, you should run the following command # to get the GDM daemon to recognize the change. Any running GDM GUI programs # will also be notified to update with the new configuration. # # gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG " # # e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable". # # You can also run invoke-rc.d gdm reload or invoke-rc.d gdm restart # to cause GDM to restart and re-read the new configuration settings. # You can also restart GDM by sending a HUP or USR1 signal to the # daemon.

# GDM System Defaults Configuration file. # # This file should not be updated by hand. Since GDM 2.13.0.4, configuration # choices in the GDM System Configuration file (/etc/gdm/gdm.conf) will # override the default values specified in this file. # # If you were using an older version of GDM, your system may have the the older # gdm.conf configuration file on the system. If so, then this file is used # instead of the GDM Custom Configuration file for backwards support. If you # make changes to the GDM Custom Configuration file and they seem to not be # taking effect, this is likely the problem. Consider migrating your # configuration to the new configuration file and removing the gdm.conf file. # # You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom # file. Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just # the most common ones that users want to change. If you feel that gdmsetup # should support additional configuration options, please file a bug report at # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. # # If you hand-edit the GDM configuration, you should run the following command # to get the GDM daemon to recognize the change. Any running GDM GUI programs # will also be notified to update with the new configuration. # # gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG " # # e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable". # # You can also run invoke-rc.d gdm reload or invoke-rc.d gdm restart # to cause GDM to restart and re-read the new configuration settings. # You can also restart GDM by sending a HUP or USR1 signal to the # daemon.

Thank you Nikola for your effort with determining why "Don't ask for password on login" was greyed out. I tried your solution of creating the "nopasswdlogin" group and it did indeed allow that option to be selected. However, upon restarting, the users that I selected still had to enter their password at the GM login screen. I eventually found a different resolution at ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12777&page=2. The thread is very old but the solution still works with Karmic.

So, I believe I fixed your original bug of not transitioning the settings from gdm.conf to custom.conf in the current version, so it should be okay now for jaunty->current karmic upgrades.
