xubuntu cannot configure login manager

[ill]

There are no settings in xubuntu oneiric that allow for configuration of the login manager. The "session and startup" in settings do not have anything relating to autologin or any other such login manager settings.

Is xcfe settings supposed to have built in support for this? If so, where?

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Thank you for reporting this bug. You are correct, there is no GUI to set login options for lightdm. Please edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to set those options. You can do that by opening a terminal, typing 'cd /etc/lightdm', then using 'sudo leafpad lightdm.conf' to open the file for editing.

Shouldn't that make this bug confirmed then?

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Since this application is working as designed, this is not a bug. That means this is not a valid bug report as explained above.

It's not a bug in xfce4-settings, that's all. Someone might want to create a program for that though.

[ill (illumilore)]

xfce4-settings not being able to do that is a bug in of itself. All other ubuntu DMs can do that now.

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

No, sorry, the display manager has nothing to do with Xfce (for example, it wasn't possible to configure gdm with xfce4-settings). This should be a separate program, and ideally lightdm should provide it by default. So it's not a bug for xfce4-settings.
