[Bug 854431] Re: GDM automatic login is not transitioned to lightdm automatic login

 

This bug left me unable to login, as lightdm fails and shows only black/blank screen as in bug #868516. I think the importance should be changed to High. As a workaround for Mythbuntu users command:
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
and configure:
autologin-user=<YOUR-USERNAME>
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=mythbuntu

Title:
  GDM automatic login is not transitioned to lightdm automatic login

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  lightdm: 0.9.7-0ubuntu1

  I did an upgrade from natty to oneiric using 'do-release-upgrade -d'.
  Natty was configured for automatic login and included a custom.conf.
  After the upgrade I'm brought to a lightdm login screen.  The
  automatic login configuration was not copied into lightdm.
