i have the exact same problem! autologin works for a few days after ubuntu install, but then sporadically falls back to the login screen. it helped to deaktivate and activate again the autologin in the config- tool, but then some restarts later, it didnt take effect. so I changed the autologin manually in the gdm.conf and gdm.conf-custom - no effect. then i added the command "sleep 3" to /etc/init.d/gdm to the place before daemon starts - also no effect.
i have a 64bit system on ext4 and full-system-encryption. it was a cllean install from the alternate cd. all patches are installed. please can someone fix this bug? its taking me crazy! :-/ -- Jaunty's GDM Autologin doesn't work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370541 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
