** Description changed: Binary package hint: gdm In Ubuntu 10.04 with gdm 2.30.0, the file /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default is not run if automatic login is enabled. This was tested on 2 very different configurations: - 2 desktops which were recently upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic then to Lucid; - 1 laptop with a fresh install of Lucid. Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Create a simple /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file, for example with this content: #!/bin/sh echo "Test" > /tmp/aaa 2. Logout from your session and log in again. Check for the existence of a /tmp/aaa file. It will exist. 3. Delete the /tmp/aaa file. Enable automatic login to any existing account and reboot. Check for the existence of a /tmp/aaa file. This time it will NOT exist. 4. Disable the automatic login and reboot, then login into the same account as before. Check for the existence of a /tmp/aaa file. Now it will exist again. My conclusion is that the file /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default is run during a manual login but ignored during an automatic login. I would expect the file to be run in both cases, as this happened for example with Jaunty. One more detail: I did a similar test with /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default and found it is NOT affected by this bug.
