Comment 5 for bug 463314

I tried replacing the contents of my /etc/gdm/custom.conf file with the contents of the file provided by MarcRandolph. It seemed to fix the auto-login problem and then the problem returned. Now, my system forces me to login 2-10 times before I can see the Mythbuntu desktop.

At each login attempt, I see the black Mythbuntu splash screen with the animated white line under the word Mythbuntu, then the screen goes black, then I get the Ubuntu login window. If I enter the password for my username, the screen goes back to the black Mythbuntu splash screen with the animated white line under the word Mythbuntu, then the screen goes black and then I get the Ubuntu login window agian. (repeat 2-10 times - randomly)

Are there any logs I can check to give helpful diagnoistic information??
