Hello!
LMDE uses GDM and I can configure the autologin for a specific user account.
Quesion:
How do I change the default wait time of 30s in a config file?
The GDM GUI will not accept any time smaller than 30s.

Re: GDM Autologin: change wait time
Can you use that gdmsetup-utility, then? I can't, so I can't really help you with the graphical way... And my attempts at finding the configuration file came up dry, as well. Now I know this file is NOT in /etc/gdm3 or in the parent directory /etc. Maybe /etc/default is the next place to investigate?
Re: GDM Autologin: change wait time
I can open gdmsetup, however I cannot unlock it.
In /etc/default I don't find a config file for gdm.

Re: GDM Autologin: change wait time
Hmm, I used gdmsetup a month or two ago, and it worked fine. I just checked, and I can't get it to unlock, either, even if I run it as root.c.monty wrote:I can open gdmsetup, however I cannot unlock it.
They must have broken it with a recent update.
Re: GDM Autologin: change wait time
I can confirm that the unlock button for gdmsetup is broken. There were one or two other reports of it around the forums when I searched last. When I wanted to auto login I searched hard for the config file to do this with and came up with /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf
