I've working on adding support to accountsservice for LightDM, which Ubuntu is switching to starting with Ubuntu 11.10. Currently, accountsservice assumes GDM is in use. (It matters only for saving and loading autologin settings.) This patch will do two things: 1) When saving autologin settings, try to write to both GDM and LightDM config files, if they are available. 2) When loading autologin settings, try to determine which of GDM and LightDM are running and load from its respective config file.

I'll likely play with it another day or so and make sure I don't hit any issues. So if you want to hold off until I give a more resounding vote of QA confidence, that's reasonable. As for config files, I'm fine with either way (accountsservice tweaking others' files or having its own), but I'm not a main LightDM or GDM developer so can't really speak to how easy a central config file would be to adopt. This is just one config value (autologin user). If that's all that's envisioned, I'm not sure it's worth having a special config file. But if you plan to add more display manager settings to accountsservice, maybe it starts to make sense.

[Bug 798962] Re: g-c-c automatic login settings not working with lightdm
The current behaviour in Oneiric Beta1 is that I can turn automatic login *on*, but I can't turn it back *off*. g-c-c reports correctly that it is turned off, but neither /etc/gdm/custom.conf nor /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf are adjusted. Is that a separate bug or is it still being addressed by this one? If it is this bug, I would say that it is much higher importance not being able to turn automatic login off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798962 Title: g-c-c automatic login settings not working with lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/accountsservice/+bug/798962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@mterry Some time ago, I tested with GDM and it didn't work (auto-login used to work on natty, but it broke when I upgraded to oneiric).

[Bug 798962] Re: g-c-c automatic login settings not working with lightdm
Maybe that's another bug, but g-c-c doesn't seem to set the default session in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. Should it be set to the current user session? Or maybe lightdm should respect ~/.dmrc instead of starting the default session and overwriting the ~/.dmrc? Because of that, if you want to activate auto-login with gnome-shell session (for example), you have to manually edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add user-session=gnome-shell. Else, it defaults to the ubuntu session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798962 Title: g-c-c automatic login settings not working with lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/accountsservice/+bug/798962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
