I'd modified it by hand. I had taken your "Can you please check if your /etc/gdm/custom.conf still tries to log in the "laptop" user automatically?" to mean modify to try with 'laptop'. It's of course back to 'gg'. > >> rebooted and the session results in bringing up the standard gdm menu >> list. Selected gg-main and it goes into the loop.

'gg-main' is the machine & sometime back I'd changed the 'full name' to 'gg-main' just so that I'd remember the machne name. Doesn't matter. If I change the full name to 'gg' so that 'gg' shows up on the gdm menu, the results are the same. To avoid further confusion in troubleshooting this bug I've changed it back to 'gg'. > >> - 'sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf', >> - change from 'laptop' to 'gg', >> - 'sudo stop gdm' and then 'sudo start gdm' >> - back into user 'gg' desktop. > > This looks like it worked?
