I upgraded the description of the bug accordingly. I think bug 284443 may be the cause if I understand that bug correctly, waiting for reaction from the developer.
** Summary changed: - gdm autologin does not work in Natty + gdm autologin does not work in Natty if ecryptfs is used ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gdm Autologin does not work after upgrade to natty. Login-screen settings (as shown in GUI) are correct. + + It seems that it does not work if there is a .ecryptfs directory present + in the $HOME directory of the user to be autologged in.
