autologin and gdm[SOLVED]

Raccoon1400 · 2009-10-14 00:38:48

when I try to use gdm, it's autologs into xfce and I don't know how to configure it.
It's gnome 2.28.
Anyone know?

It's been a while since i used gdm but from what i remember there should be some option at the login screen to choose your session

The problem is I can't get to login scree because it automatically logs me into xfce, even if I log out it logs me right back in.

Have you had a look at this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gno … guring_gdm maybe it will help

I noticed this new behaviour too, i solved it by changing to timed automatic login instead.
New gdm seem to be a rather big step backwards from a usability view point.
After i tried gnome 2.28 for a few days I am back to slim/xfce again.

So How did you change it to timed login?

maybe you can set :

AutomaticLoginEnable=false

in the daemon section of your /etc/gdm/custom.conf file

/etc/gdm/custom.conf

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=<user>
TimedLoginDelay=4
# AutomaticLogin=<user>
# AutomaticLoginEnable=true

install the gdm2setup package from the aur. Then execute it with root privilages.
