No. That value just tells gdm how long to wait for X to start up before deciding that X has hung, to kill it and try starting it again. So my guess is that if the machine is slow: 1. X takes longer to start than GdmXserverTimeout allows, because other background processes started during boot are

What's your GdmXserverTimeout now? And does doubling it resolve the problem? Steve On Thu, 2009-12-10 at 06:34 +, .kkursor wrote: > New results. > Autologin works...mostly. > If I shut down the computer using Power button (not long press, just press > and quick release), the "Welcome to GNO

Hi, Can you try extending GdmXserverTimeout to see if that helps? Maybe try setting it to 20 or 30? Steve On Tue, 2009-12-01 at 14:11 +, .kkursor wrote: > This bug affects me too. > > >sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove > >sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults > did not help. > > I have a specific is

Trying Kazabubu's suggestion to extend GdmXserverTimeout cleared it up for me. At least it's been fine for the last week plus, I've rebooted many times. Okay, here's my hypothesis of what's going on: 1) Note that Rami said boot was slow for him until he turned off AHCI, and then when he disabled

By the way, GDM was starting on my system with a default sequence number of 20. I just did: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults 99 And now the autologin seems to be working... I'll let ya know in a few days or so if that's still the case. Steve On Fri, 2009-07-24 at 12:

Maybe so. When I emailed earlier that adding "sleep 10" to my /etc/init.d/gdm script fixed the problem, I celebrated a little too quickly. It worked for a while, but doesn't work any more. An earlier reporter's assertion that removing the preload package, as well as my temporary experience of the

But in the spirit of Philipp's changes, I added "sleep 10;" to the start section of /etc/init.d/gdm, and that's gotten it working correctly for three boots in a row. That's progress for me. NoOp, can you give that a try? Steve On Sun, 2009-06-28 at 14:12 +, NoOp wrote: > On 06/28/2009 01:27

Where do you suggest I look? It's true that back in Ibex I did use Ibex's control panel to set up autologin, but given the contents of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (listed above), I'm not sure where the problem could be other than gdm. -- Jaunty's GDM Autologin doesn't work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.ne

Please change this back to an open bug. I had autologin working just fine under Ibex, then after I upgraded to Jaunty it stopped working, with no changes on my part. Additional information: After I boot the machine up, when it arrives at the login screen, if I ssh in and do "/etc/init.d/gdm stop;
