[Bug 1547297] Re: No auto login in Ubuntu GNOME Xenial

 

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 17.10. I configure in settings my user
to autologon in system but it don't works. If I type in a console:

cat /etc/gdm3/custom.conf | grep Auto

I have this:

AutomaticLoginEnable=True
AutomaticLogin=leo

I think that it's correct, but It don't login into my gnome xorg session

** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  Just installed Ubuntu GNOME Xenial 20160218 amd64 and selected to auto
  login during installation, but once the installation was complete and
  I booted into Ubuntu GNOME I was asked for my password. I looked in
  the user UI and auto login was set to off, so I unlocked it, selected
  auto login = on, clicked on lock again, and rebooted but was once
  again asked for my password and the user UI once again showed auto
  login = off.
