View Full Version : [gnome] automatic login after having killed / restarted / zapped the X server?

Hi,

I'm setting up a mythTV frontend, so have set up automatic login in GDM, which works perfectly. I've also re-enabled the "kill X server" key combo (ctrl-alt-backspace), as other people here are used to that to restart it if everything goes pear-shaped.

However, the autologin isn't working properly after I kill the X server -- just sits at the login screen, and I have to manually log in.

Any idea how to fix that? Essentially, I never want to see the log in screen -- I want it to always log in as my generic MythTV user.

Not sure if it's any help, but here's my /etc/gdm/custom.conf:



[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=generic
TimedLoginEnable=false
TimedLogin=generic
TimedLoginDelay=1
DefaultSession=gnome

(I've also tried enabling the "TimedLoginEnable", and have tried delays of 0, 1, and 10 seconds. They don't seem to work, either.)

Thanks!

No one? or, is there any more info I should provide, or should I be posting this elsewhere that anyone knows of?
