Lightdm: auto login glitch #44

Open Cos-mo opened 7 years ago

Cos-mo commented 7 years ago

Test system: Mint 18.2 beta Cinnamon 64 bit Environment: VirtualBox

For testing auto-login I did this: I created in /etc/lightdm the file lightdm.conf I entered this code: [Seat:*] allow-guest=false autologin-user=user_name autologin-user-timeout=10

(in separate lines; the code function of GH puts all into 1 line) The value 10 is meant to give the chance, to login in another account, if wanted.

Expected: After timeout the login screen vanishes and the desktop of the account user_name launches.

Result: If the timeout has expired the screen goes black for a second or so, than the login screen reappears. After some more seconds the auto login takes place as expected.

It appears, as if auto login needs 2 attempts, until it gets successful. Until now it only seems to be a visual, but ugly glitch.

@Cos-mo are you still experiencing this issue?

In my case it doesn't work at all.
