OK, I finally figured out the problem. It's the preload package, if
preload is installed then automatic login does not work. I will update
the description.
** Also affects: preload (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Jaunty: automatic login does not work
+ Jaunty: preload breaks automatic login
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: gdm
+ Simple bug description: if I have the "preload" package installed then
+ automatic login does not work anymore, i.e. even if automatic login is
+ enabled, it keeps sending me back to the gdm login screen.
- The automatic login currently does not work for me, it keeps sending me
- to the gdm login. It worked first when I installed jaunty beta, but one
- of the updates broke it. Ubuntu boots normally, then it tries to start
- X, but something goes wrong so I get sent back to the gdm login screen.

+ This should be a bug, shouldn't it? I'm pretty sure preload and
+ automatic login were compatible in intrepid.
