LXDE Forums

Hi first post here

I'm a fan of lxde mostly using it instead of gnome with ubuntu on my eee. I'm currently running karmic beta and I'd like to automatically login straight to an lxde session. unfortunately if I go to prefererences>login screen the 'unlock button' wont work. It will work in a gnome session.

I appreciate gdm is not lxde but the problem only shows up within lxde.

thanks

Until its fixed you can try the following

Quick and dirty workaround

1. edit and/or create the file: /etc/gdm/custom.conf ( example: sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf )

2. add or edit the following to: /etc/gdm/custom.conf

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=THEuserNAMEtoLOGINhere
AutomaticLogin=theUSERnameTOloginHERE
TimedLoginDelay=10

3. restart gdm and/or reboot ( sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart )
