If one at this stage creates a newuser with 'adduser' in tty1,+ put him as standardlogin-user, the crab is in the box. >From within the newuser-identity, switch-user is easy, then he/she can deactivate the f***ing 'auto-login' Anyone new to Ubunutu suffering from this should refer to local Ubuntu- Forum for assistance, if not experienced on command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353446 Title: GDM auto login won't work with ecryptfs -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
