[Bug 1485274] Re: Screen locking issue - automatic login ON but must enter password anyway

 

Here's the level of Wily that used to do automatic login like the
settings say, until update this week automatic login no longer works:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=wily
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)"
Linux Lenovo2 4.1.0-3-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 28 12:25:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz
model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

What do I do to get automatic login working?

BTW, problem occurs on this Lenovo desktop and also on my Acer laptop.
