[Bug 56035] Re: Autologin dont work on the second Xserver
Actually it's not a duplicate, it's almost the opposite. #34795 complains that autologin happens on switch user, and tries to log in as the same user already logged in before, which is clearly not helpful. That was apparently fixed (enough to close #34795) by completely disabling auto login after the first login. I don't think that's the right solution. There are systems where people log in and out frequently: * internet cafes * multihead systems like this bug and [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336174#c44] * many use cases for switch user, e.g. testing locked-down accounts, shared home computer, media centre computer The best solution imho would be to check whether the autologin user is already logged in, and disable autologin in that case. A hack would be to disable autologin on switch user. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #336174 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336174 ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 34795 authentication failed on switch user with timed login -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56035 Title: Autologin dont work on the second Xserver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/56035/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 34795 *** I think,I found it: daemon/gdm.c line 260 if (gdm_first_login) I dont understand why this is not a config option. (this is like my workaround, but this here is in the original source ...)

I'm sorry to say, this bug is also with edgy :-( Do you have an idea how to get more information into the logfile? /var/log/syslog is only telling me, that the user could notbe logged in. And two lines above it looks like the username is empty. -- Autologin dont work on the second Xserver https://launchpad.net/bugs/56035 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your bug. How do you open the other Xservers? Did it use to work doing the same actions than you do? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- Autologin dont work on the second Xserver https://launchpad.net/bugs/56035 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
