For now I've fixed this issues by changing [daemon] # Enabling automatic login AutomaticLoginEnable = true AutomaticLogin = user1
in /etc/gdm/custom.conf Searching for this issue I found that this could be a bug in gnome-control-center: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12271163 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059090 Title: Unable to autologin Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With gdm version 3.6.0-0ubuntu3 I can't get to work the aulologin feature ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gdm 3.6.0-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-16.25-generic 3.5.4 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.5.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Sep 30 15:50:40 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120918.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=gl_ES.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1059090/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
