Public bug reported: Version 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 of lightdm (in Precise) fixed timed autologin for the initial startup (see bug #902852), but timed autologin still does not work after logging out from a session.
It is logical that *immediate* autologin doesn't work after logout, but the purpose of *timed* autologin is to allow other users a chance to log in, and to log in a default user if no one does. As such, timed autologin should work every time the login screen is presented (and there are no users logged in via lightdm), i.e. also after logging out from a session, not just the first time lightdm is started. (This is also how it worked with gdm in Lucid.) ** Affects: lightdm Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1122890 Title: Timed autologin not working after logout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1122890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
