Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
Readd for sponsoring:
casper (1.210) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
* Readd scripts/
now a custom.conf file and still need autologin in live version.
Merge with my previous fix proposed for sponsoring one week ago:
use echo -e to enable \n interpretation (/bin/sh is busybox ash
which behavior differs from vanilla ash interpretor) (LP: #500786)
-------
Lucid amd64 20091222.1 iso booted via grub loopback from hd was the first iso where I was presented with a login screen but could not login. 20091221 was the last iso with which I was able to get to the desktop just fine.
Today I looked at /etc/gdm/
[daemon]
when it should look like this:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginE
AutomaticLogin=
TimedLoginEnabl
TimedLogin=ubuntu
TimedLoginDelay=10
When I manually change it to that and "sudo restart gdm" it automatically logs in to the desktop just fine.
I am not an expert but when I looked around a bit this changelog entry aroused my suspicion:

* scripts/
only append autologin on casper startup if needed. This avoids removing
default session set in this file for ubuntu derivatives which use GDM.
The script also check if the modification is already there for
persistent usb keys. (LP: #498971)

It seems to fit the timing of the breakage exactly. Could you please take a look?
