I too am getting the problem what I can get an autologin to happen first time, but not subsequent times.
I previously had a custom.conf setup in 9.04 and had updated custome.conf.9.10 in an attempt to fix. # cat custom.conf.9.04 [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=mythtv TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=mythtv TimedLoginDelay=10 [security] [xdmcp] [debug] [gui] [greeter] Use24Clock=yes [chooser] [servers] 0=MythTV [server-MythTV] name=MythTV Server command=/etc/X11/X -br -audit 0 -terminate -layout DTV-Wide # # # cat custom.conf.9.10 [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=mythtv TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=mythtv TimedLoginDelay=10 [security] [xdmcp] [debug] # empty lines between sections removed for brevity. I noticed that the upgrade hacked my xorg.conf, however haven't chased it too much yet. I have added an exit for 9.10 to the existing .gnomerc, in attempt to get it to at least be able to login manually # cat ~mythtv/.gnomerc mythfrontend sleep 5 exit # however after I added some debugging, mythfrontend seems to be complaining on subsequent starts that pulse audio is running, and aborts startup. If I shutdown gdm and restart gdm, then mythtv attempts to restart but fails because of pulse, and I get the login box again. If I shutdown gdm, kill pulse, and restart gdm, then I get initial autologin of mythtv again. -- gdm ignores timed/auto login on all but first greeter run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
