Description Janek Walkenhorst

2013-02-28 16:15:40 CET

Currently enabling "lightdm/autologin" generates the configuration
 autologin-guest=true
. This creates a new user for each session; To allow autologin with a specific user the configuration must be
 autologin-user=USERNAME
with USERNAME being the user to use for the session.

The UCRV should be changed to allow this.

The new UCR variable lightdm/autologin/user allows the configuration of the user under which the automatic login should occur. If the variable is unset a temporary guest user is used as before.

OK: automatic login with guest-user or the user defined via lightdm/autologin/user works. If a nonexisting user is set, login will fail silently and the greeter is shown. The user just has to be valid, no prior login has to happen.

OK: Changelog
Verified
