Bug Description
This is a complementary bug report to https:/
Imported description from the other report:
When lightdm is configured with with 'autologin-
any configured 'autologin-session' will be ignored and the autologin-user
will be logged in with the last used session instead (read from
/var/lib/
Example 1:
autologin-
autologin-
autologin-
This works as intended, as the autologin is handled directly by 'lightdm'.
Example 2:
autologin-
autologin-
autologin-
Now the autologin must be handled by the greeter, and this results
into starting the (last) selected session, which must not be the
same as the configured 'autologin-
The fix is to explicitly set the session before doing the autologin.
But since the greeter hints doesn't give us any information about the
'autologin-session' a second patch to lightdm is also required).
However, since the attached patch to lightdm-gtk-greeter will just
keep the current behaviour if the second patch hasn't been applied
to lightdm it would be save to merge this anytime.
Can you convert this to a merge proposal?
