Comment 1 Anne Nicolas 2012-04-18 10:46:02 CEST

autologin package was missing. Added for RC

Comment 2 jon scsi 2012-04-20 06:17:49 CEST

also needs Meta-task package apparently, I tried to download autologin and it wanted that first.

Comment 3 Anne Nicolas 2012-04-20 09:38:40 CEST

will be pulled as a deps during build iso

Comment 4 jon scsi 2012-04-22 03:31:37 CEST

Anne, downloaded and installed both packages, it would not allow me to setup autologin still, maybe there is something else needed? will await RC for further testing for this.

Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-24 03:43:58 CEST

IIRC, either gdm or kdm has to be used for the mcc autologin setup
to work properly now.  Just going from memory of some discussions
on the developers list.  Try installing one of them.

Comment 6 jon scsi 2012-04-25 03:53:22 CEST

Thanks, but the problem is David, 

I'm using LDXE and deliberately trying to work without Gnome or KDE Components for a minimum system. However will try gdm as some gnome 'stuff' is already installed, hopefully there are not too many extra dependancies.

Comment 7 jon scsi 2012-04-25 04:56:37 CEST

no, picking gdm pulls the full dt in and i'm not willing to do that, i'm trying to work with the Dual CD components!

I shall d/l the autologin srcrpm and see what can be done to make it dt independant.

Comment 8 jon scsi 2012-05-03 11:59:16 CEST

with the RC it's still looking for /lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so

Relevant 2 lines are:

PAM cannot dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so)
/lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so: cannot open shared object file: no such object or library
PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so

I can login with password OK

Comment 9 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:04:20 CEST

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

I am experiencing this bug in Mageia 2 too.  Like Jon I am trying to autologin with LXDM or XDM because KDM and GDM both involve installing very many unnecessary packages.

I notice when using the autologin GUI in MCC that /etc/sysconfig/autologin does not change.

Comment 12 Derek Jennings 2012-05-27 02:55:21 CEST

Jon  Does it work if you edit /usr/lib/libDrakX around line 738 like this?

    my $xdm_autologin_cfg = "$::prefix/etc/sysconfig/autologin";
    if ($autologin->{dm} eq 'xdm' or  $autologin->{dm} eq 'lxdm' or
$autologin->{dm} eq 'slim' ) {

Comment 13 papoteur 2012-06-10 08:39:02 CEST

It fails a modification at line 718.
