[Bug 1080107] Re: auto log-in doesn't function after logout

 

Bug 1396824 "X server crash from autologin session returns to greeter,
not autologin session" is related.

If the VNC server should survive a login or a logout  it needs to run as
root. Solutions are shown on http://askubuntu.com/questions/229989/how-
to-setup-x11vnc-to-access-with-graphical-login-screen/528469#528469 and
on http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/VNC#x11vnc .

Title:
  auto log-in doesn't function after logout

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Incomplete
Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Enabling auto log-in for a user causes a ubuntu unity session to be started when the operating system is booted.
  The session has a "Log Out..." item on the pull-down menu item in the upper right corner.
  When this command is used, the session is logged out, but there is no subsequent auto log-in.

  Consequently, remote access by VNC (vinagre/vino) ceases.

  This problem has been around for several releases, but is definately
  present for the one below:

  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04
