Auto Login on Fedora Core 12

I previously posted details on how to setup Fedora Core 9/10/11 for auto login. Well I’ve recently downloaded and install Fedora Core 12 on my mythtv server and it still works. Here’s how to do it:

Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and add this to the file. You could use gedit or vi whatever suits you, but you need to do it as root.
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=username
TimedLogin=username
TimedLoginDelay=0

Obviously you would replace “username” above with the actually “username” you wish to login automatically.

Now reboot and test it!
