You have been subscribed to a public bug: In a fresh installation of 11.04 automatic login to the default user fails with the system hanging.
The only way to get around this is to have the user's automatic login disabled and login from the login window instead. I've been able to 'start/stop gdm' and have it sometimes open up to the default user account. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- login freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
