Login Screen Settings Problem

[stormsurge]

Hi!

I have a problem when I try to unlock the Login Screen Settings.Nothing happens every time I click it that is why I can't configure my settings. Hoping for some feedbacks here. Thank you!

in the command line, try executing,

gdmsetup

if an error comes up, post it here.

Out of curiosity how does one access the command line during boot in Lucid?

The Login Screen Setting opened but still can't unlock and configure my Login Screen settings.

Thank you!

maybe it's related to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...el/+bug/564094

anyhow, try

ck-launch-session gdmsetup

[loell]

sudo gdmsetup?

See http://lani78.wordpress.com/2009/07/...koala-alpha-3/ for a workaround. By following its advice, one may alter Login Screen Settings.

Go to System/Administration/Login Screen and see if "Log in as [user] automatically" is checked. If not, follow the above advice. Reboot. Then see if "Log in as [user] automatically" is now checked. Then try to unlock Login Screen Settings.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread. But thank you Ursaminor for the fix! I'm new to Ubuntu and having to manually log in every time was driving me nuts.
