[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#636104: For autologin support, lightdm should include proper /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin

[Martin Krüger]

Package: lightdm
Version: 0.9.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

lightdm supports autologin. But in the default installation, autologin breaks
with something like "pam requires interaction" and an authentication error and
falls back to the standard greeter.
I fixed this by copying the gdm3-autologin from /etc/pam.d to lightdm-
autologin. I've no idea, if this is a proper fix, but it works for me.

I think, lightdm should include a lightdm-autologin, shouldn't it?

Thanks for the package, works great!
