Automatic & passwordless login

Hi,

It's been a while that I am not able to enable the passwordless login into a my system after a system update. I have the GDK/Gnome Shell combo. I have been following the instructions in the wiki:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GD … atic_login

[#] systemctl list-units | grep gdm.service
gdm.service                                                                                           loaded active running   GNOME Display Manager
[#] cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
AutomaticLogin=god

[security]

[xdmcp]

[greeter]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

[#] cat /etc/pam.d/gdm-password
auth     include   system-local-login
auth     optional  pam_gnome_keyring.so

account  include   system-local-login

password include   system-local-login
password optional  pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok

session  optional  pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session  include   system-local-login
session  optional  pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

# auto login
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin

[#] groups god
tty wheel proc dbus users gdm nopasswdlogin god

I am not sure what to look for or where the issue might be hidden. Can you provide some advice?

Thanks,
Atari

Re: Automatic & passwordless login

Try moving this line to the top of /etc/pam.d/gdm-password

auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin

Hi Premier,

moving "auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin" to the top does not prompt anymore for the password. Still it shows the screen where it asks for the username.

Thanks,
Atari

Re: Automatic & passwordless login

Just noticing another issue, perhaps unrelated. Once logged out I am not able to log in anymore, reporting that my password is not correct. In this case I need to reboot the computer
