[GDM] Automatic login issues

I've setup an automatic login using gdmsetup to a regular user account, but no matter what I do, after automatically passing the GDM screen, a small popup asks me for authentication, thus screwing up my auto-login.

Did I miss a step here?


Thanks for your help,
bored2k.

Re: [GDM] Automatic login issues

#%PAM-1.0
auth            requisite       pam_nologin.so
auth            required        pam_env.so
auth            required        pam_permit.so
account         required        pam_unix.so
session         required        pam_limits.so
session         required        pam_unix.so
password        required        pam_unix.so

There's my /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin. Now what should I do with it? smile

What does your gdm.conf contain??
Should have a section similar to below (mine is default):

# Automatic login, if true the first local screen will automatically logged
# in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key.
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLogin=

Another method:

Open /etc/pam.d/gdm and before this line:

@include common-auth
add these three lines:

# start enable passworldless logins
auth sufficient pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/X11/gdm/nopassusers.txt onerr=fail
# end enable passwordless logins
Now create the file /etc/X11/gdm/nopassusers.txt and add the usernames of the users that you want to have passwordless logins, one per line.

Re: [GDM] Automatic login issues

Same problem here ...

My /etc/pam.d/gdm and /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin

look the same als that of Markus

Doesn't anybody have a solution, except of downgading gdm?
