excerpt from /var/log/messages regarding gdm autologin failure
Here is an excerpt from /var/log/messages that may help point the way toward solution of this problem.
Further investigation shows that the "Invalid NULL username for auto/timed login" message first appeared a few minutes after an update batch which included gdm-3.3.92.1-1.fc17.i686.
I'm seeing this too Should be fixed in gdm 3.4.0.1, which we'll build as an update shortly. I've got the update, and it's working for me now. Let me know if I should karmacize anything. |
