As I am the single user of my laptop run on Fedora 10, entering username & password each time is troublesome for me. So I need to automatic login feature. It is very easy in Ubuntu but not in Fedora. After searching online, I have seen it is not very hard to configure in Fedora too.
Fedora 8 – Automatic Logon
Open the file:
vim /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Put the following lines in the file.
[daemon]
AutomaticLogin=username
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 – Automatic Logon
Fedora 9 requires a slightly different configuration.
Fedora 10 also requires this configuration.
Open file:
vim /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Put these lines:
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=yourusername
TimedLoginDelay=0
In both case change yourusername to your expected user.
You can also enable autologin in Ubuntu. Follow this link
