it's strange, after restore the original /etc/pam.d/gdm file and changing the autologin
settings with the program accounts-dialog, everthing works as aspected.

[CODE]# cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]

AutomaticLoginEnable=False
AutomaticLogin=root

Sorry problem occurs again, the workaround at the moment is to use the keyboard shortcut strg/alt/backspace.

Comment 3 Bas Mevissen 2010-11-15 09:32:06 UTC

I see the same problem. This box had previously also auto login. But that was disabled (on F13) long before upgrading to F14. I'm not sure how auto login got disabled previously. Maybe automatically during the F12->F13 upgrade.
