This messagebox has just started. How to get rid of each time I boot?

Keep an eye on this one; I had settings as user/autologin but system changed it; not me hence I didnt check. (surely nothing to do with grub-install?) No, its happened again, autologin is no longer sticky - it checks, but next boot unchecked.

Beware many places might be used to set session autologin : [Capture du 2020-02-15 14-29-59] At left is « settings / details / users » at right is « lightdm login screen » ( or whatever its localized name, look for lightdm in your app menu it should pop up ). Modifications made on one side may override the other.

When I started using Chrome on other distros, this bug occurred. However it’s never happened on UB so I don’t know why you are seeing it.

Two things; the user panel doesnt show user as standard or admin which it should? I tried to set autologin via bash: sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf There is no custom.conf There is no gui lightdm but perhaps that you installed it at another time.

[image] AlistairG: I tried to set autologin via bash: sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf UB uses lightdm - not gdm3 - so this doesnt work [image] AlistairG: There is no gui lightdm Its in the menu - “Login Window” You set the user to autologin via that (Users tab)

Lightdm doesnt use dconf. It’s in /etc/lightdm somewhere but cant remember the exact file off the top of my head.

Well this is config without changing anything: [Kazam_screenshot_00028]

Im just wondering; are you sure the messagebox is a login box?

[image] AlistairG: are you sure the messagebox is a login box? I am not sure what you are referring to. The user field on the login window is the correct way to set autologin. If it isnt working for you then I would suggest you should reinstall to clear any odd configuration tries you have done. Note. The keyring issue is expected … autologin bypasses the normal authentication and the keyring has to be manually unlocked. You can set a valid keyring password via seahorse.

OK so LightDM appears correct too.
Can I try Dconf? if yes, whats the variable?
