How Do I Configure GDM3 To Autologin

[wafflesausage]

Hey, I'm having a problem with getting GDM3 to automatically login (I have the drive encrypted, requiring a password at boot; it's a "single user" machine, so I figured that typing two passwords is a little redundant). I edited the configuration file /etc/gdm/custom.com, and it now reads:

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]

[security]

[xdmcp]

[greeter]

[chooser]

[debug]

### User Added Settings ###
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=lucer

and then restarted, but no luck. Any pointers?

Just use the username menu on the top right (default setup), choose system settings --> User accounts. Here, toggle the Automatic Login switch to ON.

This should work!

Or, you could go to the Fedora Set-Up Guides (above) and use AutoPlus.

Thanks a lot; I had no idea it would be so straightforward, haha.

Do you happen to know where the username menu is on F16 or 17 LXDE?
