Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I installed Ubuntu desktop i386 20090721.3 with ubiquity 1.99.0, and selected "automatic login".

In the final system, /etc/gdm/custom.conf ends up as

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=ubuntu
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=martin
TimedLoginDelay=10

I. e. TimedLogin is correct, but AutomaticLogin should be "martin", not "ubuntu". This is probably an artifact from casper which configures it that way for the live system?

This bug was fixed in the package user-setup - 1.27ubuntu5

  * If a root user is being created so we aren't in sudo mode, configure
    libgksu to use su rather than sudo.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * user-setup-apply: Don't set AutomaticLogin=ubuntu, use the actual user
    name. (LP: #402707)

This needs to be picked up in ubiquity once user-setup is published.

  * Fix -q behavior when X is not running, thereby fixing oem-config-firstboot
  * gtk: initialize gobject threads for webkit

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Automatic update of included source packages: user-setup
    1.27ubuntu5. This fixes autologin configuration. (LP: #402707)
