Hey guys, I've attached a first blush patch to enable timed/automatic logins on seats > seat0. This patch is essentially made up of two parts. 1) In daemon/gdm-display.c where it currently checks if the seat != seat0. Rather than doing "goto out;" immediately, it queries the username. If the username is utilising the script method** then let the automated login proceed. 2) In gdm-simple-slave, rather than using a global level GDM_RAN_ONCE_FILE_MARKER, create one per seat. This allows the wants_autologin() to return True on a another seat rather than drop through to simply start_greeter(). ** https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en ... TimedLogin (applies to AutomaticLogin also) This is the user that should be logged in after a specified number of seconds of inactivity. If the value ends with a vertical bar | (the pipe symbol), then GDM will execute the program specified and use whatever value is returned on standard out from the program as the user. The program is run with the DISPLAY environment variable set so that it is possible to specify the user in a per-display fashion. For example if the value is "/usr/bin/getloginuser|", then the program "/usr/bin/getloginuser" will be run to get the user value. I've performed some basic testing as follows utilizing a Plugable displaylink usb hub and a PC with integrated intel graphics. 1) AutomaticLoginEnabled = False Gdm Greeter is launched on both displays 2) AutomaticLoginEnabled = True / AutomaticLogin=username seat0 => username is logged in automtically, no greeter launched. seatn => Gdm Greeter is displayed 3) AutomaticLoginEnabled = True / AutomaticLogin=/usr/bin/getSeatUser.sh| seat0 => getSeatUser.sh looks for some seat/DISPLAY details and echo's out username, who is logged in automtically, no greeter launched. seatn => getSeatUser.sh looks for some seat/DISPLAY details and echo's out username, who is logged in automtically, no greeter launched. Feedback and suggestions welcome.
Updated to also export the GDM_SEAT_ID for the initial environment as it's a useful variable to query in the login user script.
