Automatic login not working

[Karthikkeya]

I am referring to a solved issue that is not working for me... http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 66&start=0

Workaround from terminal (at least for GNOME):

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf

Change the following lines under the [daemon] section (or add these three lines if they are not there):

Code: Select all

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=YOURUSERNAME

And replace YOURUSERNAME with your user name. Then save & close the file. Next time it should automatically login.

I am using LMDE 201204 and I have before not had any problem with this, but now I re-installed the LMDE and this bug came into my system. When I read the possible solution to edit the dameon.conf file, actually I can not find the file, nor the folder gdm3 in /etc. ok what i did? i created it of course! still didn't solve my issue though.

I read that widgets could be the problem, that the widgets somehow overrides my attempt to lock my userlogin in automatic mode?!

Any ideas anyone?

Hello Linux Mint Forum, I have enjoyed Linux Mint a lot, but it just had to many bugs both for software and hardware, so I have swithed to Linux EasyPeasy, here everything works as it should for me. Who knows, if Linux Mint will get more stable, I will return?!
