    no login after disabling autologin

    Hi,

    it tried to test the autologin mechanism, now i have to decided to go back to normal
    login on fc14 under gnome, but the login screen doesn't appear any longer.
    The autologin was activated with accounts-login and disabled by removing the two
    lines below
    Code:
    [daemon]
    
    AutomaticLoginEnable=True
    AutomaticLogin=martin

    Is there a way to correct this, without del the user profile ?


    The custom.conf looks like this:
    # cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    Code:
    # GDM configuration storage
    
    [daemon]
    
    [security]
    
    [xdmcp]
    
    [greeter]
    
    [chooser]
    
    [debug]
    mybe ist a gdm bug
    created an bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651956

    Re: no login after disabling autologin

    it's strange, after restore the original /etc/pam.d/gdm file and changing the autologin
    settings with the program accounts-dialog, everthing works as aspected.

    Code:
    # cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    # GDM configuration storage
    
    [daemon]
    
    AutomaticLoginEnable=False
    AutomaticLogin=root
    
    [security]
    
    [xdmcp]
    
    [greeter]
    
    [chooser]
    
    [debug]

    Sorry problem occurs again, the workaround at the moment is to use the keyboard
    shortcut strg/alt/backspace.
