Description oli 2019-02-07 10:37:57 UTC
Description of problem:
I would like to login automatically with my username. Unfortunately, that does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name         : mate-desktop
Version      : 1.20.4
Release      : 1.fc29
Arch         : x86_64
Größe        : 190 k
Quelle       : mate-desktop-1.20.4-1.fc29.src.rpm
Paketquelle  : @System
Aus Paketque : updates
Zusammenfass : Shared code for mate-panel, mate-session, mate-file-manager, etc
URL          : http://mate-desktop.org
Lizenz       : GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ and MIT
Beschreibung : The mate-desktop package contains an internal library
             : (libmatedesktop) used to implement some portions of the MATE
             : desktop, and also some data files and other shared components of
             : the MATE user environment.

How reproducible:
I followed this tutorial https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Enabling_autologin


Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit lightdm.conf as described in the above tutorial 
2. add the user to autologin group
3. make sure accountsservice is installed

Actual results:
after booting, the login screen appears and i have to press enter. Then some kind of login happens, but i fall back to the login screen. I have to press enter again to get the desktop.

Expected results:
I boot my machine and the login happens automatically, no need for pressing enter to get to the desktop

Are you using lightdm-gtk or slick-greeter as frontend for lightdm?

By the way, what does this have to do with mate-desktop package?
mate-desktop isn't a meta package, it contains only some libs for MATE desktop.

Comment 2 oli 2019-02-07 10:50:40 UTC
I have slick-greeter installed. So i guess this is used as default frontend for lightdm. Can you tell me how i can check that?

Thanks for the info with mate-desktop. I thought thats a meta-package. In that case i am wrong here.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2019-03-28 13:24:22 UTC
Moving to slick-greeter.
