Description

Proposing as F18 blocker or NTH. fwiw, it works on the nightly i got (though I have to boot with " 3 " on the kernel command line update xorg-x11-drv-qxl from updates-testing and init 5 to test because of the qxl bug This is still present in Alpha RC3. /etc/gdm/custom.conf seems to be all right. I tried the same configuration on the installed system and autologin works fine. /etc/gdm/custom.conf: # GDM configuration storage [daemon] [security] [xdmcp] [greeter] [chooser] [debug] [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=True AutomaticLogin=liveuser oh i fixed this upstream: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=aafa4070f2905c4848091a78422210951775cd9a turns out its sort of random whether it will work or not depending on how fast the system is etc. Fix is included in current packages in updates-testing Discussed at 2012-12-12 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-12-12/f18final-blocker-review-4.2012-12-12-17.01.log.txt . Accepted as NTH - autologin is intended behaviour and would be better polish, can't be fixed with an update. This is broken in Final TC1, with a gdm way later than September, so setting back to assigned. Live boot reliably shows GDM with 'liveuser' account, for me, I don't recall autologin ever working in any F18 test for me. Kparal says the same. Autologin has worked for me, as recently as last week. However, I've turned it off, because of bug #881896. Matthew, we're talking about autologin on LiveCD. For some reason that doesn't work. Autologin on an installed system works, yes. clarify summary. (In reply to comment #5) > Fix is included in current packages in updates-testing I've tried re-spinning a LiveCD with F18+updates (gdm-3.6.2-5.fc18) but that failed to auto-login too.

logs when it fails to auto-login
hughsie found me on irc and we debugged a bit. it's looking like the problem is caused by duplicate sections in the config file (which isn't allowed). He's going to confirm, and if that checks out, we'll probably just push a fix to spin-kickstarts.git and close the bug. so there's seemingly more to the story. We think now the problem is the livecd init script is getting started in parallel with gdm, but the livecd user isn't created until the init script finishes. hughsie is doing a spin with LSB headers at the top of the initscript to enforce ordering with GDM to see if that helps.
