I am trying too much but i think i need you guys show how. Before there was a way to use gdmsetup for auto-login. But now in Fedora 15 i cant do auto-login anymore. Anyone know how i can do this?

This is the problem i cant solve to not show any kind of login prompt (Tried this): TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=user1

it shows still the user1/password login prompt and wait for few seconds and then auto login. But i want it straight goes to the desktop.

Thanks

TimedLogin will also work, add an additional directive (TimedLoginDelay=0) to go straight to the desktop. – John T Aug 1 '11 at 18:49

You can achieve this by modifying the daemon section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=USERNAME_HERE

If you set AutomaticLogin=root, gdm will refuse to automatically log you in for security reasons. Use a regular user account instead.
