Autologin with LightDM and multiseat

Post by nebular »

I currently have a multiseat setup working perfectly except in one way, it will not automatically login to the desktop for each user on each seat. LightDM has the correct user selected, passwords are not needed, but I still have to click to login no matter what.
Here is my lightdm.conf

Code: Select all

[LightDM]
logind-load-seats=true
logind-check-graphical=true

[Seat:0]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=frontdesk
autologin-user-timeout=0

[Seat:1]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=frontdisplay
autologin-user-timeout=0
Is this doable or do I need to go with a different DM?

Did you encounter any problem trying the proposal? For me a similar setup works with Ubuntu.

Proposal? The only post other than yours is mine describing the problem.

Sorry, I missed the part about the listed config not working. I checked mine, and I have a timeout of 3 seconds on the autologged seat. Can you try some number other than 0?
