Yep, setting to 'show the screen for choosing who will log in' breaks it. Can't unlock System|Administration|Login Screen. If I log back in via the recovery/Ctrl-Alt-F1 mode I see that /etc/gdm/custom.conf has been modified to:
[daemon] AutomaticLogin=<username> AlwaysLoginCurrentSession=false AutomaticLoginEnable=false TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin=<username> TimedLoginDelay=30 DefaultSession=gnome Changing 'AutomaticLoginEnable=false' to 'AutomaticLoginEnable=true' and rebooting works & autologin restores the desktop. Plus I can unlock System|Administration|Login Screen again (get prompted for a password, etc). System|Logout <username>|Log out| and trying to login as another user results in the frozen mouse, and original issues. So the problem must be in the gdm configuration files somewhere. -- lucid lynx - login screen stuck in a loop - SYSTEM BROKEN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
