Product: drakxtools
Component: drakboot
Summary: wrong handling of autologin
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-0.23mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: drakboot
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kdm, mdkkdm, and gdm all know the feature autologin. drakboot does not make
use of this feature and works around it with the package autologin. Since with the
package autologin no dm is started and those XDM_MANAGED is not set, the
logout dialog for kde is the first time you log out the small one what you get if
you start X from console. This is bug #375, #2002. If you then configure
autologin in kde/kcontrol it gets even stranger. You log out the first time and you
get logged in immediately again (since kdm/mdkkdm gets started the first time)
this is bug 382.
What should drakboot do about it ? It should not use the package autologin in
case gdm or kdm is used. It should alter the config-files of kdm to enable this
feature. This would save drakboot to be inconsistent to the settings in kcontrol
too. This bug is in Mandrake since 9.0 or the like, it would be nice to have this
fixed :)
