LiveCD displays gdm auto-login after 10 seconds screen instead of just logging in automatically

[Someone]

Binary package hint: gdm

The LiveCD displays gdm auto-login after 10 seconds screen instead of just logging in automatically.
Which might confuse users making them to try and type in the username/password box, thereby delaying the auto-login and confusing them more.

I know gdm has the ability to auto-login without any countdown, since this option is available under its configuration dialog and is also offered during installation of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu version:
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

Package version:
gdm:
  Installed: 2.20.10-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2.20.10-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2.20.10-0ubuntu2 0

What you expected to happen:
I expected Ubuntu LiveCD to auto-login without displaying a gdm auto-login screen.

What happened instead:
The LiveCD displayed a gdm auto-login screen, which may confuse the user.

the livecd does autologin immediatly if you get the count down that's probably a crash of the first login on your config, that's not a gdm bug

Strange... what could possibly trigger this bug?

I'm unable to reproduce this , Does anyone else have this problem.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix.
Further this is a bug , and not the intended behavior of the LiveCD, This is not a papercut. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

For resolution of the bug, kindly identify the projects affected and assign the bug to that project, otherwise the devs of the concerned project might not be notified of this problem. For more about finding the right package> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.

For the least Ubuntu still does work...

But id rather this auto-login issue not to happen, Especially since it might get worse in later versions of Ubuntu or might be a sign of a bug in another place.
