[Bug 396459] Re: auto-login settings not migrated
Why creating the user group nopasswdlogin is not enough is discussed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/396459 In #20 I posted how to fix it for Karmic. -- auto-login settings not migrated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 396459] Re: auto-login settings not migrated
Thank you Nikola for your effort with determining why Don't ask for password on login was greyed out. I tried your solution of creating the nopasswdlogin group and it did indeed allow that option to be selected. However, upon restarting, the users that I selected still had to enter their password at the GM login screen. I eventually found a different resolution at ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12777page=2. The thread is very old but the solution still works with Karmic. The only difference is to change the location of /etc/X11/gdm/nopassusers.txt to /etc/gdm/nopassusers.txt -- auto-login settings not migrated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Click manage groups and add a group called nopasswdlogin. After that it won't be greyed out. I had to look through the source code to figure this out.

Hello Dave, Dave Stroud [2009-07-19 17:30 -]: I changed and rebooted and I had auto login. Great, thanks for bearing with me. So, I believe I fixed your original bug of not transitioning the settings from gdm.conf to custom.conf in the current version, so it should be okay now for jaunty-current karmic upgrades. This just couldn't work for you, because you (as per my debugging instructions) already manually moved the settings across before the fixed version. Did I still miss anything?

# GDM System Defaults Configuration file. # # This file should not be updated by hand. Since GDM 2.13.0.4, configuration # choices in the GDM System Configuration file (/etc/gdm/gdm.conf) will # override the default values specified in this file. # # If you were using an older version of GDM, your system may have the the older # gdm.conf configuration file on the system. If so, then this file is used # instead of the GDM Custom Configuration file for backwards support. If you # make changes to the GDM Custom Configuration file and they seem to not be # taking effect, this is likely the problem. Consider migrating your # configuration to the new configuration file and removing the gdm.conf file. # # You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom # file. Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just # the most common ones that users want to change. If you feel that gdmsetup # should support additional configuration options, please file a bug report at # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. # # If you hand-edit the GDM configuration, you should run the following command # to get the GDM daemon to recognize the change. Any running GDM GUI programs # will also be notified to update with the new configuration. # # gdmflexiserver --command=UPDATE_CONFIG configuration key # # e.g, the Enable key in the [debug] section would be debug/Enable. # # You can also run invoke-rc.d gdm reload or invoke-rc.d gdm restart # to cause GDM to restart and re-read the new configuration settings. # You can also restart GDM by sending a HUP or USR1 signal to the # daemon. HUP behaves like restart and causes any user session # started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like # reload and will wait until all users log out before # restarting GDM. # # For full reference documentation see the GNOME help browser under # GNOME|System category.

(LP: #396459) * Add 81_initial_server_on_vt7.patch: Force initial X server to go to tty7 instead of tty1. This is an Ugly Hack until we have a cleaner solution for getty not to tramp over a running X server on vt1. This bandaids the immediate problem of the first X server being killed after a few minutes due to getty on tty1 timing out.
