From what I've deduced, this is a bug in lightdm.

That looks pretty relevant and promising. Thank you!

I'm trying to compile ssh-gui in Mythbuntu 11.04.
see http://sourceforge.net/projects/ssh-gui/

I downloaded and uncompressed the source files. When I tried to MAKE, I got the following:

In Mythbuntu, there is no "Ubuntu Software Center" under the Applications menu. Note, I mentioned that Mythbuntu uses a different desktop from Gnome.

I take it you DO have this choice in stock...

SAMBA is working for you in 10.04???

I'm running Mythbuntu (the Mythtv/Ubuntu distro).
Mythbuntu uses the XFCE desktop rather than Gnome.

Thanks for the response. I found the "launcher maker" you showed. (right click on the upper toolbar and choose "Add New Items")

Sounds familiar - like the multiple-login problem. It may take 10 to 20 trys before you finally get logged in via the graphic login window!


Have you checked to see if your /etc/X11/xorg.conf...

Are you willing to edit your xorg.conf file? Some command line activity is necessary. From the feedback we've seen, that seems to be the solution.

Does my list of xorg.conf file modification...

It looks like the pattern of changes I saw in my xorg.conf file is holding true for you, too.

Specifically, you now have "Device0" rather than "Configured Video Device", and "Screen0", rather...

There seems to be a pattern that includes the xorg.conf file as part or all of the solution. It would be interesting to see your before and after versions of the xorg.conf file. We may see a common...

Maybe there is a pattern with the video cards? What display card do you have? Nvidia? Which chip?
If nvidia, are you also using driver version - 185?

Eric

Maybe my change from the nvidia 6150 display chip to an nvidia 8400GS display card was the change that made the difference??

My nvidia video driver was version 185 [Recommended] before and after...

Something has changed and I am not getting the forced multiple logins any more!

I'm not sure if it was due to something I did, or if it was the update via the Ubuntu Update Manager from...

I didn't change the nvidia driver from berfore - it is/was driver 185 [Recommended].

Also, somehow it all started working?! I can tell you what I did, but it doesn't make sense because I did the...

I've been using Ubuntu 9.10 (as part of Mythbuntu) for a few weeks, following an upgrade from 9.04.

When I started, I was using the nvidia 6150 video chip built-on to the Asus A8N-VM-CSM...

I tried reinstalling gdm and 4 other gdm packages using the Synaptic Package Manager. It didn't work on my system.

I have not found a cure yet.

For background, I didn't have the problem of multiple logins right after I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. It happened after downloading a bunch of updates using the...

My upgraded Mythbuntu 9.10 system is forcing me to login (gdm?) no matter if I have the system set to auto-login with my username or not.
It's like it is ignoring the /etc/dgm/custom.conf file...
