What was the installer editing instead? (is there some dangling file edits hanging around somewhere now?) -- I see from above that it was editing "/etc/gdm/...", on my system fully updated though, there is no dangling files in /etc/gdm/, so that's good.
This is what is actually needed (as we know): {{{ $ cat /etc/gdm3/custom.conf | grep Auto AutomaticLoginEnable = true AutomaticLogin = <USER> }}} Even if we fixed the installer, what to do about all the existing versions with the bug? Will we have it auto-correct once the user runs patch updates? - or are they just stuck with googling to find this bug report and then have to fix it manually? :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547297 Title: No auto login in Ubuntu GNOME Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1547297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
