Description Luke Ashe-Browne 2006-06-01 10:21:44 UTC

Description of problem:
I was attempting to setup an autologin on the local console of a desktopmachine
which was to display network useage graphs automatically in the comms room. i
opened gdmsetup, and used it to select AutoLogin, however i noticed everytime i
opened gdmsetup again the user field had been blanked out. I opened the
/etc/gdm/custom.conf file and noticed that while AutomaticLoginEnable=true was
present in the [daemon] section, AutomaticLogin=username was not in the section
at all, manually adding this line resolved the issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm 2.14.4

How reproducible:
tried on 2 different desktop machines and both produced the same result

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open gdmsetup, select Autologin, enter username in User field
2.click close on gdmsetup.
3.open /etc/gdm/custom.conf and you should find AutomaticLoginEnable=true but no
username specified or no line with AutomaticLogin=username anywhere in the file.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

I can confirm this bug to still be present in FC6.

Also this seems a duplicate from 188463?

Fedora Core 6 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 7 or
Fedora 8?

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-03-18 18:42:09 UTC

Hi,

We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug
count down to a more manageable state.  I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
 If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on
a supported version of Fedora and reopening?
