Description of problem: In "Gnome settings / Users" i switch slider "Automatic login" to "ON" then reboot the system and get gdm login screen instead of automatic login. Ok i checked "/etc/gdm/custom.conf" file and it has following strings: [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=True AutomaticLogin=sherbakov so settings have been applied with no actual result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed Packages Name : gdm Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 3.22.1 Release : 1.fc25 Size : 2.1 M Repo : @System Summary : The GNOME Display Manager URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GDM License : GPLv2+ Description : GDM provides the graphical login screen, shown shortly after boot up, : log out, and when user-switching. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open up Gnome settings 2. Go to "Users" menu 3. Choose your account, press unlock button 4. Type user password 5. Switch slider "Automatic login" to "ON" 6. Reboot or log out (then log in) Actual results: gdm login screen asks the password for user to log in Expected results: Automatic login while system boots up.
Confirmed not working here too, same as above. Anybody know a work around? Thanks, Jon
Jon, Yes, uncomment 'WaylandEnable=false' in /etc/gdm/custom.conf to switch from Wayland back to Xorg. That worked for me on F25. Thanks, Mark
Confirmed As Well the above solution to uncomment 'WaylandEnable=false' in /etc/gdm/custom.conf seems to fixed the issue with the autologin as well as a booting loop i was having during boot.
Login Loop*
Workaround in comment #2 worked up to a few days ago.
Yup, now it boots to the desktop but requires you to log into the key ring manually. Cheers, Jon
Even using the workaround from comment #2 doesn't seem to help any more. Still get stuck at the login screen.
Gdm updated. Workaround again working. Autologin w/ Wayland not.
Hi Brian, thanks for the fast fix. I can confirm the workaround is working again. Joerg
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
