I think I nailed it down. I have a ecryptfs directory from previous install (I installed natty from a USB stick but preserved my home directory). If I move $HOME/.ecryptfs somewhere else (i.e. mv .ecryptfs Desktop), autologin starts to work. Of course, it is then no longer possible to unlock the Private directory.
Can anyone confirm this or am I experiencing different bug than others? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/753707 Title: gdm autologin does not work in Natty -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
